New project from outside of IDE [message #274951] Mon, 01 November 2004 20:43

Hi all,

I've developed a product with the plug-ins/SWT interfaces, but I'm new to
developing without the plug-in framework surrounding me.

How can I add a project to a workspace without starting the IDE? I know
where the workspace is, and I know where the project is. The project folder
already has a .project file in it. I would like to add the project to
..metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects

The main problem is that the project data is mangled when it is added to the
property files. Additionally, I would be hesitant to directly manipulate
the project files since that would be a good way to lose compatibility with
future releases of Eclipse. Do you know how, through the API, I could add a
project? (Note: The project is not in a subdirectory of the workspace)

Thanks,
Ben
