How to get the absolute path of project files in eclipse using plugin


I am trying to create a plugin which would give me a list of absolute path of all the files inside a project opened in eclipse.

I tried but I am able to get the path of the active window only..

My action code is:

  IWorkbenchPart workbenchPart = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActivePart(); 
    IFile file = (IFile) workbenchPart.getSite().getPage().getActiveEditor().getEditorInput().getAdapter(IFile.class);
    if (file == null)
        try {
            throw new FileNotFoundException();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    String path = file.getRawLocation().toOSString();
    System.out.println("path: " + path);

Here I am only getting the path for active window..But I want list of absolute path of all the files inside a project ..mainly the files under src folder...

Please guide me if I can do it in the same way or do I need to use some different API for this.


Solution

  • After my research, I found out below code would get the path of Eclipse's current workspace's project directory:

    //get object which represents the workspace  
    IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();  
    
    //get location of workspace (java.io.File)  
    File workspaceDirectory = workspace.getRoot().getLocation().toFile()
    

    Note: You need to import org.eclipse.core.resources and org.eclipse.core.runtime to use these API's
