[cdt-dev] Re: Programitically Changing The Project Location

["Karol Krizka" <kkrizka@xxxxxxxxx>]

To add to my question, is it also possible to set the initial project
name? I am asking this, because I am trying to make it possible to
check-out a project from CVS and the project name has to be the same
as the module name in CVS.

I noticed that the CDTMainWizardPage class has a function called
setInitialProjectName, which should accomplish just this. But it has
to be called before the page is created, which is not sure how I can
accomplish. I tried to do this from setWizard() function of a custom
page, but at that time      CDTMainWizardPage
firstPage=(CDTMainWizardPage)wizard.getPage(CDTMainWizardPage.PAGE_ID);
 returns null, so I am guessing it has not been added to the wizard yet.
