Re: [cdt-dev] Determine which project template was selected during wizar

[subs <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Beth,

Yes. It is Java, so you can do whatever you want!

I couldn't find anywhere to store it in the classes that were accessible to me, 
so I created my own class where I kept the data that I wanted to persist. I then 
used MyClass.getDefault() in my custom page wizard to access the persistent data.

I am trying (hard) to avoid modifying CDT, so this method works without 
modifying CDT.
