Hi,

I am preparing a Graphical Editor in Eclipse using
GEF/draw2d. I am facing a basic problem.

The palette I want to show the User, should be different for
different types of Diagrams. I want to store the mapping of
Palette entries in an XML kind format in a file, which
"should not be" the part of Workspace, but the Project
folder.

However, I am not able to find the way I can access a folder
or a file present in the Root directory or the src directory
of the folder.

I know I need to use IProjectDescription and/or IProject
objects for that, but I am not getting a handle on how to
get the objects of the same. My other concern is, when I
wrap up my code finally as a zip or jar file, will my code
still have access to the file or not?

I am sure its a trivial problem, but can anyone help me with
a short snippet of Code (or a link which guides me) to do
the same.

Thanks in advance,
Saurabh Srivastava
