IFile to IResource

How can I get an IResource from an IFile or from an absolute path?

I tried with:

IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceRoot root = workspace.getRoot();
resource = root.findMember(file.getAbsolutePath());

But I get a null value.

IFile extends IResource so if you have an IFile you have an IResource.

findMember treats the path it is given as relative to the container (the workspace root in this case). So you can't use it to find a file given an absolute file path - you must use the findFilesForLocation APIs for that.

IFile extend IResource, or with other words an IFile is an IResource.
