[cdt-dev] Setting PathEntry variables from CDT plug-in

["Matthias Halfmann" <mhalfmann@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm using linked resources to pull sources into my MBS projects. In the
workspace I set a PathEntry variable to point to the top level directory
of the source tree. Then I define linked resources relative to the
PathEntry variable which pull in the actual sources. This works very
well and lets developers check out the source tree to different
locations on the local machines. 

Setting the top level PathEntry variable via the workspace is quick and
effective but I've been wondering if I can programmatically define this
variable through the plug-in I've written to support our tool-chain.

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/cdt-core-home/docs/qnx/cpathent
ry.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project&rev=1.11

I found the above document which talks about programmatically setting
PathEntry variables, but it looks a little dated (11/23/2003). Is there
a newer set of documentation for PathEntry variables? Is it possible to
access the CoreModule from with in my plug-in?

Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,
Matthias
