How to get the absolute path of project files in eclipse using plugin
eclipse-api, eclipse-plugin, java
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

Problem
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.
