How can I retrieve files from a changeset using the Java API?
I am trying to extract the files of a changeset using the Java API to the filesystem but haven't found a single reference in the forum for doing that. Is the approach supposed to be to load a workspace and then copy out the files from the paths contained in the changeset? Or is there a way to directly extract the files? I seem to remember seeing something about the latter method but I can't find anything.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

if (changeSet == null) {
// It's possible that we don't have read access to this change
// set?
continue;
}
for (IChange change : (List<ichange>) changeSet.changes()) {
IVersionableHandle after = change.afterState();
IVersionable item = (IVersionable) scmService.fetchState(after,
null, null);
if (item instanceof IFileItem) {
IFileItem fileItem = (IFileItem) item;
