Hi,

after reading about hidden resources I wanted to add a hidden project
for my global linked resources (think of java classpath entrys - it's
roughly the same). That works amazingly well with one notable exception:

1. Setting the project to hidden is only allowed after the project is
created and I need this to happen synchronously (I do not know, can I
use a WorkspaceModifyOperation synchronously?), so sometimes the
navigator picks up the project before it is hidden (classical race
condition), refresh removes it. Is there something I can do about this?
e.g. synchronized(project)?

2. Is there an even more elegant way to handle global external resources?

regards

Christoph

Nope, you can pass IResource#HIDDEN to IProject.create(...)

Christoph,

Thanks a ton for the tip. It isn't obvious from the documentation that you can pass a flag like that in IProject.create().
