Programmatically add a file to a project [message #323788] Tue, 08 January 2008 12:12 Go to next message

I would like to add a file to an existing project (programmatically).

Either would be acceptable:

1. Add the file when an existing project is imported (that is, somehow
plug into the 'General>Existing Projects into Workspace' from the
'File>Import...' menu selection).

2. At some point check a Workspace project for the existence of a
particular file and add it if it doesn’t exist (triggered by some event
such as starting a build, etc.)

Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jeff

Use the resource notification stuff (IResourceChangedEvent,
IResourceDelta, etc) to get notification of when the project is added.

Then you can just create your file using the IResource API.

All of this is described pretty well in the Resources Overview section
of the Platform Development Programmer's Guider in the help.

Thanks, this looks like what I need. Just having trouble bolting it in,
but I'll figure it out eventually.
