[Fwd: Re: load a file in a Eclipse bundle and a standalone java application]

[Jeff McAffer]

Hey Yonghe,

Is the problem finding the file? Typically this happens when people are
expecting the XML file to be located somewhere specific and are using
File IO. The other typical problem relates to resource lookup. If you
are using Classloader.getResource() etc then you have to ensure that the
logical package that contains the needed file is available on the
classpath of the bundle looking it up. Finally, if you are packaging a
bundle that has the file in it, perhaps the build.properties does not
have the file on the bin.includes line so when you build it is not
included in the built bundle.

Short answer is, yes, you should be able to write one class that does
all the parsing both inside and outside Equinox.
