Hi all,
I want to get the location of FILE selected in package explorer through code, i m not able to get it..

i hv tried to access its location thru:-

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().members() ;
.
.

which will give the list of proj. added in workspace and then iterating thru all those projects for that particular file... but here the problem is like if the same file exists in more than 1 proj. my code will fail,

i want the location of that very specific file without iterating thru all the proj., its like if we select that file in package explorer and right click on that file clicking on 'properties' option and in that we can get the path in 'resource' section..thats the way i want it but through code.

plz help..thanks for ur reply in advance.

Hi,

When i want to right click on a file in package explorer and get its location, i will implement a popupmenu (who's action class will implement the IObjectActionDelegate).
In the selectionChanged(IAction, ISelection) method of this interface, i will get the selection object which is selected in the PkgExplorer.

From this selection obj i can use below code, try this:

TreeSelection treeSel = (TreeSelection) selection;
((IFile)treeSel.getFirstElement()).getLocation();

Did it help u?
