KNIME project location

Node Development
1

I’m writing a KNIME plugin, and I’d like to be able to determine, from the context of my NodeModel, the location of the eclipse project root. The use-case? My plugin has, as part of its configuration, references to a number of scripts that the plugin executes. I would like for these paths to be project-relative ( as opposed to absolute paths ).

Any pointers?

Thanks.

The best solution is to write a PluginActivator for your Plugin that has a static method which returns the desired path. You may have a look at the org.knime.core.internal.CorePlugin class, which does something similar.

To clarify, I’m not attempting to access a resource within my plugin. Rather, I’d like to be able to store additional configuration files within the KNIME project file structure. I can get the workspace location, but not the KNIME project location.

Hi appreciate your work. I feel that anything which can extract Domain features by using sequence of the protein can become a great help to use this tool for finding out Domain feature. I think we can have a look, at this Plugins
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/wsdl/WSInterProScan.wsdl
like the site address is
http://www.ebi.ac.uk
Now we are extracting data from BlastProDom, FPrintScan, HMMPIR, HMMPfam, HMMSmart, HMMTigr, ProfileScan, ScanRegExp, SuperFamily, SignalPHMM, TMHMM, and HMMPanther. Domain matches are created as features on a sequence. Similar Kind of Data Bases and Plugins will be available with many other Scientists who work with Proteins, Genes etc.

@rcauble:
The recommended method to access a resource located within your plugin is as follows:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.FileLocator#openStream(Bundle, IPath, boolean) which opens an java.io.InputStream to your resource.
You can access the resource bundle of your plugin with YourPlugin.getDefault().getBundle();
Hope that helps? Best, Fabian
