It just was a guess. I just wanted to work around my other question
(getting the url from a file reference).
But, thinking about it, this it isn't expected to be possible, as the
layer file becomes part of the XML filesystem after installation, it
doesn't have a "personality" of its own which would justify to store its
"personal" contents separately und thus having a permanent pointer to it.

I still don’t understand why it is that you are trying to do this, if you
explain the context, that would help. You should never need to access the
layer.xml file itself. There are method calls in FileUtil for getting hold
of folders and files in the layer. Can you explain what it is you’re trying
to achieve? Parsing the layer directly is never going to be the correct
approach.

ModuleInfo does not seem to provide access to everything from the

Unless you don't mean the module info file from Jigsaw, and you mean
something different instead? The layer.xml file is registered in the
module's manifest, if that helps.

Whatever it is you're trying to do here, please stop. :-) The NetBeans
module system and the Jigsaw module system are two totally different
things
and know nothing about each other. On the other hand, you're going to
ignore this advice and go on ahead with whatever this is anyway, so bear
in
mind that the module info file is always found in exactly the same place,
so you can simply provide a hard coded path to it, just like is done here
for example, look for 'META-INF':

java/java.source.base/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/source/
parsing/CachingFileManager.java

Hello,
is there any way to read a module's layer.xml from ModuleInfo (or sth.
else in global lookup)?
Kind regards
