Hi,
in my Eclipse plugin, I have a folger images where I would like to
store images that I generate programmatically.
I thought using
String fileName = "images\\1.png";
URL url = ComparisonPlugin.getDefault().find(new Path(fileName));
String path = url.getFile();
would work, but url is always null.
How do I get the path to this folder?
Thanks,
Stefan

In fact, there is an area specifically reserved to create plugin
specific files.
It is Platform.getStateLocation(bundle)
This returns an IPath to a local directory in your workspace where your
plugin can store plugin wide files. (I.e. any files that are for the
plugin, not ones for specific projects).
