Convert IFileStore to IPath in Eclipse RCP

Question

Given an IFileStore and knowledge that it represents a file in the local file system, how can it be converted to the IPath?

Answer 1

I would go with this:

File file = iFileStore().toLocalFile(0, null);
IPath path = Path.fromOSString(file.getCanonicalPath());

The other answer would probably work, but the answer here is likely safer.

Answer 2

Try this:

String path = iFileStore.getParent().getName();
...
IPath iPath = Path.fromPortableString(path);

You probably have to do some string manipulation on the path string where I have the ellipses.

Since you have the test bed, you can more easily determine what code goes in the ellipses. Feel free to update this answer with what you find.
