Are you sure you need workspace URL? The only thing you may rely is that it will contain .metadata folder - everything else may be located elsewhere:

  1. Projects can be created outside of the workspace.
  2. Workspace files/folders may actually be a links to external resources (that might not even be local files).

My recommendation:

  1. If you want to find some resources - use IResource::getLocationURI and check that it is a local file (you may download the content if the URL is EFS)
  2. If you want to access your plugin data (that is in .metadata) use Plugin.getStateLocation
  3. If you still think you need workspace root - Platform.getInstanceLocation

You want:

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getLocation().toString();

Get the absolute file system path of any resource:

IResource.getLocation()
