[cdt-dev] Programmatically generating c++ source file

[gerhard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi!

I tried to programmatically generate a C++ source file by using
StringBuffer. The generated C++ file can be compiled and executed by CDT
but I get no content in outline view. I only get the #define statement.
When I open the generated C++ source file the CEditor displays it and
marks the whole source code with a gray filled box. What does this mean? I
assume that the indexer can't parse the file. But why? When I manually
type the same file everything is alright.

Here is the code snippet I use for generating the source file...

StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
buf.append("#ifdef TEST_TestClassName\n");
buf.append("#include \"cppunit/extensions/HelperMacros.h\"\n");
buf.append("\nclass  TestClassName : public CppUnit::TestFixture {\n");
buf.append("public:\n");
buf.append("\tvoid setUp()\n\t{\n");
buf.append("\t}\n");
buf.append("\tvoid tearDown()\n\t{\n");
buf.append("\t}\n");
buf.append("\tCPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE(" + testClassName + ");\n");
buf.append("\tCPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_END();\n");
buf.append("};\n");
buf.append("CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION(" + testClassName + ");\n");
buf.append("#endif\n");

IFile newFile = project.getProject().getFile(newFilePath);
InputStream source = new ByteArrayInputStream(new byte[0]);
newFile.create(source, true, monitor);
ITranslationUnit tu = (ITranslationUnit)
CoreModel.getDefault().create(newFile);
IWorkingCopy workingCopy = tu.getWorkingCopy();
workingCopy.getBuffer().setContents(buf.toString());
workingCopy.reconcile(true, new SubProgressMonitor(monitor, 50));
workingCopy.commit(true, new SubProgressMonitor(monitor, 25));
workingCopy.destroy();

What did I wrong?

Thanx for your help.
