IFile to IResource

Question

How can I get an IResource from an IFile or from an absolute path?

I tried with:

IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceRoot root = workspace.getRoot();
resource = root.findMember(file.getAbsolutePath());

But I get a null value.

Answer 1

IFile扩展了IResource ，换句话说， IFile是IResource 。

Answer 2

IFile extends IResource so if you have an IFile you have an IResource .

findMember treats the path it is given as relative to the container (the workspace root in this case). So you can't use it to find a file given an absolute file path - you must use the findFilesForLocation APIs for that.
