public final class FileLocator { private FileLocator() { // prevent instantiation }
Returns a URL for the given path in the given bundle. Returns null if the URL could not be computed or created.

This method looks for the path in the given bundle and any attached fragments. null is returned if no such entry is found. Note that there is no specific order to the fragments.

The following variables may also be used as entries in the provided path:

  • $nl$ - for language specific information
  • $os$ - for operating system specific information
  • $ws$ - for windowing system specific information

A path of "$nl$/about.properties" in an environment with a default locale of en_CA will return a URL corresponding to the first location about.properties is found according to the following order:

    plugin root/nl/en/CA/about.properties
    fragment1 root/nl/en/CA/about.properties
    fragment2 root/nl/en/CA/about.properties
    ...
    plugin root/nl/en/about.properties
    fragment1 root/nl/en/about.properties
    fragment2 root/nl/en/about.properties
    ...
    plugin root/about.properties
    fragment1 root/about.properties
    fragment2 root/about.properties
    ...

The current environment variable values can be overridden using the override map argument or null can be specified if this is not desired.

Params:
  • bundle – the bundle in which to search
  • path – file path relative to plug-in installation location
  • override – map of override substitution arguments to be used for any $arg$ path elements. The map keys correspond to the substitution arguments (eg. "$nl$" or "$os$"). The resulting values must be of type java.lang.String. If the map is null, or does not contain the required substitution argument, the default is used.
Returns:a URL for the given path or null. The actual form of the returned URL is not specified.

public static URL find(Bundle bundle, IPath path) { return FindSupport.find(bundle, path, null); }
This method is the same as find(Bundle, IPath, Map) except multiple entries can be returned if more than one entry matches the path in the host and any of its fragments.

  • bundle – the bundle in which to search
  • path – file path relative to plug-in installation location
  • override – map of override substitution arguments to be used for any $arg$ path elements. The map keys correspond to the substitution arguments (eg. "$nl$" or "$os$").

public static URL[] findEntries(Bundle bundle, IPath path, Map<String, String> override) { return FindSupport.findEntries(bundle, path, override); }
Returns the URL of a resource inside a bundle corresponding to the given URL. Returns null if the URL could not be computed or created.

This method looks for a bundle resource described by the given input URL, and returns the URL of the first resource found in the bundle or any attached fragments. null is returned if no such entry is found. Note that there is no specific order to the fragments.

The following variables may also be used as segments in the path of the provided URL:

  • $nl$ - for language specific information
  • $os$ - for operating system specific information
  • $ws$ - for windowing system specific information

For example, a URL of "platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.core.runtime/$nl$/about.properties" in an environment with a default locale of en_CA will return a URL corresponding to the first location about.properties is found according to the following order:

    plugin root/nl/en/CA/about.properties

public static URL[] findEntries(Bundle bundle, IPath path) { return FindSupport.findEntries(bundle, path); }
Returns an input stream for the specified file. The file path must be specified relative to this plug-in's installation location. Optionally, the path specified may contain $arg$ path elements that can be used as substitution arguments. If this option is used then the $arg$ path elements are processed in the same way as find(Bundle, IPath, Map).

The caller must close the returned stream when done.

Params:
  • bundle – the bundle in which to search
  • file – path relative to plug-in installation location
  • substituteArgs – true to process substitution arguments, and false for the file exactly as specified without processing any substitution arguments.
Throws:
  • IOException – if the given path cannot be found in this plug-in
Returns:an input stream

Converts a URL that uses a user-defined protocol into a URL that uses the file protocol. The contents of the URL may be extracted into a cache on the file-system in order to get a file URL.

If the protocol for the given URL is not recognized by this converter, the original URL is returned as-is.

Params:
  • url – the original URL
Throws:
  • IOException – if an error occurs during the conversion
Returns:the converted file URL or the original URL passed in if it is not recognized by this converter

Converts a URL that uses a client-defined protocol into a URL that uses a protocol which is native to the Java class library (file, jar, http, etc).

Note however that users of this API should not assume too much about the results of this method. While it may consistently return a file: URL in certain installation configurations, others may result in jar: or http: URLs.

If the protocol is not recognized by this converter, then the original URL is returned as-is.

Params:

Throws:
Returns:the resolved URL or the original if the protocol is unknown to this converter
