Getting a file system path from a platform URI [message #293955]

Hi,

I've been struggling with this all afternoon. I've searched the Eclipse and
EMF classes and couldn't find a method that would convert a Platform URI
into a File URI. I need to get the full file system path of the Platform
URI. In the code that I'm modifying I have no access to a ResourceSet and
any Resources.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Don

Hi,

I need the full file system path so that I can create an IPath that is a
parameter to a method.

Thank you,
Don

IPath pluginPath = new Path(pluginURL .toString());

Platform.resolve(URL url) and Platform.asLocalURL(URL url)

asLocalURL() is useful for plugin files, since if the plugin is jarred
it will extract the file so that it's a valid file:// URL.
