Re: [platform-core-dev] Getting the input stream for a resource - can't

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter's suggestion will only work if
you have "." on the Bundle-ClassPath.  You can also try:

  Bundle b = Platform.getBundle(PLUGIN_NAME);
  URL url = "" new Path(path));
  InputStream is = null;
  if (url != null)
    is = url.openStream();

Did the url from Platform#find not work
unless you resolved it?  Questions like this should be posted to the
news groups.
