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

The answer that worked for me (and I tested it!) was:

// Get the currently selected file from the editor
IWorkbenchPart workbenchPart = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActivePart(); 
IFile file = (IFile) workbenchPart.getSite().getPage().getActiveEditor().getEditorInput().getAdapter(IFile.class);
if (file == null) throw new FileNotFoundException();
String path = file.getRawLocation().toOSString();
System.out.println("path: " + path);
