Escape result of FileLocator.resolve(url)

Question

The method FileLocator.resolve(url) can be used to translate an address bundleentry://something/somewhere/x.txt to a proper file URL for /mnt/foo

Answer 1

Two additional notes:

• FileLocator.resolve indeed resolves an URL, but it does not necessarily return a file:/ URL. In the default case where your bundle is packed (in a .jar), you should use FileLocator.toFileURL, which automatically extracts the resource to a cache if needed.
• since Eclipse 4.x now includes EMF Common API by default, you can escape the URL more simply with EMF's URI API as follows:

URI resolvedUri = URI.createFileURI(resolved.getPath());

To get the file name, call resolvedUri.toFileString();
