Re: [cdt-dev] Programmatically import a CDT project

["Sundaram, Srividya" <srividya.sundaram@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Clement,

>> IProject project = root.getProject(projectName) project.open(new NullProgressMonitor())
I would like to read the project name from the .project file. That's how I know which project I am importing.
Also, should we first do a project.create() before project.open() ?

Thanks,
Srividya

Hi Srividya,

  Importing a project programmatically goes like this:

IWorkspaceRoot root = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();
IProject project = root.getProject(projectName) project.open(new NullProgressMonitor())

Until you do something CDT-specific, you can use plain Eclipse APIs.

Best,
Clément
