Accessing Bundle Resources
To access a resource (file) in a bundle various solutions are possible. A discussion about how to access an included file can be found on How to reference an included file in OSGi bundle when performing java.io.File or FileInputStream.
BundleContext
Accessing the resource via the BundleContext class is possible but not very convenient.
context.getClass.getResource("resource.file");
URL
Accessing the resource via the URL works in Eclipse but may not working in other OSGi environments.
URL url = new URL("platform:/plugin/my.plugin.id/folder/file.txt"); InputStream inputStream = url.openConnection().getInputStream();
FileLocator
Bundle yourBundle = Platform.getBundle("bundleSymbolicName"); Path relativePathToBundle = new Path("/relativePath"); FileLocator.openStream(yourBundle, relativePathToBundle, false);
