This took me far too many hours, so I thought I would share. In your activator, implement the following:
String rootDirectory; public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { super.start(context); //... URL entry = context.getBundle().getEntry("/"); rootDirectory = FileLocator.toFileURL(entry).getPath(); }
However, this solution may create unnecessary "/" at the beginning of the path. You may consider using this code instead:
String location = FileLocator.getBundleFile(context.getBundle()).getAbsolutePath();
