[cdt-dev] Creating a new build configuration programmatically

[Rainer Poisel <rainer.poisel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to add new build configurations after converting a "plain"
Eclipse project to a CDT project. This is the code I have so far:

8<================
@SuppressWarnings("restriction")
  public void convertToCProject(final IProject originalProject)
    throws CoreException
  {
    final IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
    final IWorkspaceRoot workspaceRoot = workspace.getRoot();
    final IProject originalProjectHandle =
workspaceRoot.getProject(originalProject.getName());
    final IProjectDescription newProjectDescription =
workspace.newProjectDescription(originalProjectHandle.getName());
    CCorePlugin.getDefault().createCDTProject(newProjectDescription,
originalProjectHandle, new NullProgressMonitor());

    final ICProjectDescriptionManager descriptionManager =
CoreModel.getDefault().getProjectDescriptionManager();
    final ICProjectDescription projectDescription =
descriptionManager.createProjectDescription(originalProject, false);
    final ManagedProject managedProject = new
ManagedProject(projectDescription);

    Configuration newConfig = new Configuration(managedProject, null,
"MyConfigID", "MyConfigName");
    Configuration otherConfig = new Configuration(managedProject,
newConfig, "OtherConfigID", true, false);

    addConfiguration(originalProject, projectDescription, newConfig);
    addConfiguration(originalProject, projectDescription, otherConfig);

    CoreModel.getDefault().setProjectDescription(originalProject,
projectDescription);
  }

  @SuppressWarnings("restriction")
  private void addConfiguration(final IProject originalProject,
    final ICProjectDescription projectDescription,
    final Configuration managedProjectConfiguration)
    throws CoreException
  {
    final IBuilder managedProjectBuilder =
managedProjectConfiguration.getEditableBuilder();
    managedProjectBuilder.setManagedBuildOn(false);
    managedProjectBuilder.setAutoBuildEnable(false);
    managedProjectBuilder.setIncrementalBuildEnable(false);
    managedProjectBuilder.setCleanBuildEnable(false);
    final CConfigurationData managedProjectConfigData =
managedProjectConfiguration.getConfigurationData();
    projectDescription.createConfiguration(ManagedBuildManager.CFG_DATA_PROVIDER_ID,
managedProjectConfigData);
  }
8<================

However, the only Build Configuration I am seeing after the conversion
(convertToCProject() method) is the "MyConfigName" configuration.

Could someone please give me a hint what I am doing wrong here? As I
get some warnings regarding discouraged access to internal methods
(@SuppressWarnings("restriction")) I am feeling quite uncomfortable
with this code as well. Shall I use the CDT extension points
(http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fextension-points%2Findex.html)
to achieve my goal? If so, which one?

Thanks for your help,
  Rainer
