How to get workspace location in Eclipse 4.x

I need to get workspace a location using API in Eclipse 4.x platform. I know that I can use 

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

but I'm wondering if there is another way to do that without static reference to ResourcesPlugin? For example using Dependency Injection..

Thanks in advance Qinto.

From Eclipse Wiki:

@Inject @Named(E4Workbench.INSTANCE_LOCATION) private Location instanceLocation;

This didn't work for me in my LifeCycleManager, though, throwing an exception that the Location object was not available to be injected. I removed the @Named annotation and a valid Location object was injected:

@Inject private Location instanceLocation;
