[cdt-dev] Copy, clean and build automatically a C++ project

[sim0s <gerasimu_s@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to duplicate a project, do some processing on the duplicated
project and (clean &) build it automatically. I managed to write the code
for duplicating a project (given below) but there are still some issues. 

(i) .cproject file still has some remnant of the source project (Example
instead of Example2)
    e.g., <builder buildPath="${workspace_loc:/Example}/Debug"
id="cdt.managedbuild.target.gnu.builder.macosx.exe.debug.1434305598"
keepEnvironmentInBuildfile="false" managedBuildOn="true" name="Gnu Make
Builder" superClass="cdt.managedbuild.target.gnu.builder.macosx.exe.debug"/>

Do I need to change anything in project description? Am I missing any
command?


(ii) clean and build the project automatically

I looked into the CCorePlugin and CoreModel classes but couldn't find any
suitable. 
Any idea how can I achieve this programmatically?

 

	public static IProject copyProject(IProject project, String newProject)
throws CoreException {
		try{			
		    IProgressMonitor monitor = new NullProgressMonitor();
		    IWorkspaceRoot workspaceRoot =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();
		    IProjectDescription projectDescription = project.getDescription();
	
		    // create clone project in workspace
		    IProjectDescription cloneDescription =
workspaceRoot.getWorkspace().newProjectDescription(newProject);
		    // copy project files
		    project.copy(cloneDescription, true, monitor);
		    IProject clone = workspaceRoot.getProject(newProject);
		    
		    //make it a CPP project
		    CCorePlugin.getDefault().convertProjectToCC(clone, monitor,
clone.getFullPath().toOSString());
		    
		    // copy the project properties
		    cloneDescription.setNatureIds(projectDescription.getNatureIds());
		   
cloneDescription.setReferencedProjects(projectDescription.getReferencedProjects());
		   
cloneDescription.setDynamicReferences(projectDescription.getDynamicReferences());
		    cloneDescription.setBuildSpec(projectDescription.getBuildSpec());
		   
cloneDescription.setReferencedProjects(projectDescription.getReferencedProjects());
		    clone.setDescription(cloneDescription, null);
		    return clone;
		}
		catch (CoreException e){
			e.printStackTrace();
			MessageUtility.writeToConsole("console", e.getMessage());
			return null;
		}
	}



Thanks,
Simos
