Given an IProject A and a file name B, is there any facility available
that can be used to determine whether file B is contained in project A?
My goal is to be able to determine whether a file belongs to a project
without doing a file search. Thanks.

You can use a IResourceVisitor to browse thru the files in the project
and determine whether its available or not.

Thanks for the reply...this can work if all I have is a filename, like
"test.h", and not a full path, like "/this/is/the/actual/location/test.h"?

Yes. You should call project.accept(resourceVisitor); It will call the
visit method for every resource (assuming you have returning true for
its parent) Just check the java docs. It should help a lot
