How to find the source for a class file
Suppose all I have is the full path for a '.class' file, and I need to get hold of the VirtualFile that references the source for this class file. What's the easiest way to do this?

Oh, if it wasn't clear, the '.class' file is guaranteed to be compiled from the current project sources -- so chances are it's sources are part of the current project.
Marcus,
you could start from this code, that returns the source file from a
class FQN
public static VirtualFile fqnToSourceFile (Project i_project,
String i_class)
{
String fqn = i_class.endsWith (".java")
? i_class.replaceFirst (".java", "")
: i_class;
GlobalSearchScope scope = GlobalSearchScope.allScope (i_project);
PsiClass psiClass = PsiManager.getInstance (i_project).findClass
(fqn, scope);
if (null == psiClass) {
return null;
}
PsiElement psiClassSource = psiClass.getNavigationElement ();
// to avoid viewing the decompiled class
PsiFile psiFile = psiClassSource.getContainingFile ();
return psiFile.getVirtualFile ();
}

Many thanks, Alain. I just had to do some massaging to figure out the FQN from the file path, and everything worked fine.
