See the NB javadoc for InstalledFileLocator. Using that, you should be
able to put together the classpath you want. For example,
File aJar = InstalledFileLocator.getDefault().locate(
"modules/ext/something.jar", "com.here.you", false);

Hello.
From within my plugin I need to start an external process running a
Java program which needs some of my modules.
Is there a way to retrieve a (runtime) classpath which contains all
the locations of my modules' JAR files (including all the needed
NetBeans modules)?
Thanks,
M.
[Clarification: My plugin is defined by modules M1, M2, and M3 which
need the NetBeans modules N1, N2, and N3. Module M3 defines a class C
with a main method. My modules are either used as a NetBeans plugin or
run as an RCP application. An action requests M2 to start an external
Java process which starts with main class C and needs at least modules
M1 to M3 and N1 to N3 on its classpath (resp. module path). Is there a
way to access the classpath CP of the running NetBeans instance which
would provide a list of all used modules such that the process
java -classpath CP C additional_arguments
might be started, where CP is something like
/a/x/M1.jar: /b/y/M2.jar: /c/z/M3.jar: /h/r/N1.jar: /i/s/N2.jar:
/j/t/N3.jar
This classpath must not necessarily be limited to the list of
enumerated modules; it might additionally contain M4 to Mn from other
plugins and NetBeans modules N4 to Nm. Note that in the regular case
only the name of the class C (and the fact that it resides in one of
the running modules) is known.]
