Get the absolute path of the currently edited file in Eclipse

Question

I\'d like to write a plugin that does something with the currently edited file in Eclipse. But I\'m not sure how to properly get the file\'s full path.

This is what I do

Answer 1

Looks like you want IResource.getRawLocation(). That returns an IPath, which also has a makeAbsolute() method if you want to be doubly sure you've got an absolute path.
