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

From Vogella Blog:

URL url;
try {
    url = new 
    URL("platform:/plugin/de.vogella.rcp.plugin.filereader/files/test.txt");
    InputStream inputStream = url.openConnection().getInputStream();
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
    String inputLine;

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(inputLine);
}

in.close();

} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

To get the URL, Following can be used:

Bundle thisBundle = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(getClass());
URL fileURL = thisBundle.getEntry("

Also, one can choose the type of Stream/Reader to read image/text.
