How do I find the plugin folder of the running plugin?

Hobbes · 2006-05-20 14:17:43

I have a plugin that I want to access a file within the plugin itself. Is there a command to get the plugin directory and plugin? failing that a command that points to a data area of the user logged in?

The plugin is mine and its an eclipse plugin.

I could set it to open a file in a fixed directory however I'd prefer to either open the file in the plugins directory directly or in a user data area (eg. c:\documents and settings\user\local settings).
