Is there a way to get the path of the current project directory using the IntelliJ Plugin SDK?

Let's say I create a new project under ~/sampleProject and open it with IntelliJ. Then I want to create a plugin which displays the current project path ~/sampleProject.

I tried this

File(".").absolutePath

which is the path of the IntelliJ_path/bin directory, not the current working directory.

I found the solution myself:

When you create a widget using the StatusBarWidgetFactory you have to implement the following method:

override fun createWidget(project: Project)

Where the project object knows the path: project.basePath.
