What I would like to achive

To create a project that is a standard managed C/C++ project with a custom wizard. In the new project creation wizard only want to ask for the name of the project.

Things i would like to add above a standard CDT project are:

add a custom project nature
generate files to the project
use a custom make file generator that extends the built in GnuMakefileGenerator.

Question is how to do this in a clean way? Without touching CDT internals and possibly without creating a CDT project manually.

What I have tried so far

By using a custom wizard I have to create the cdt project manually using

CCorePlugin.getDefault().createCDTProject(...)

It is indead very simple to do so but that does not make it a managed project and it can not be built - build command is unavailable from menu and toolbar. Following this trail I have tried using the

ManagedBuildManager

but I ended up touching a lot of internal classes like org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.internal.core.Configuration, ManagedProject and ManagedBuildInfo.

I have tried the

org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.newWizardPages

extension point but it is not what I want really. I do not need an extra page to the standard project creation wizard but a simplified custom wizard.

On the other hand the

org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions

extension point seems like a lot more I would like to do in the first run. I see that I can define configurations and a custom builder there with custom make file generator but I do not need my own tool chain for now. Although I would not mind going this way for it could be benefitical in the long run.
