How to get projects in workspace [message #4084]

I am working on a plugin which needs to know the projects in the
workspace. I've found what I thought were the correct methods, but I'm
not having any luck. I also can't find an example which does what I'm
after.

I've been trying variations on

org.eclipse.core.resources.ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().ge tRoot().getProjects()

but it always ends up returning an array with no elements.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey, Len

This piece of code actually gets me all the names of projects which are
currently on the workbench. If I'm not mistaken I believe that I tryed it
your way some time ago and it didn't work either. After I devided the code
that you have into two, I was able to get the projects.

IWorkspace root = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IProject[] projects = root.getRoot().getProjects();

String[] nameOfProjects = new String[projects.length];

for( int i =0; i < projects.length; i++)
{

nameOfProjects[i] = projects[i].getName();
}

projectsOnWorkbench = nameOfProjects;

}

Are you running your plug-in using Run->Run-time Workbench? If so, you
must beware that the workspace where you are running the new Eclipse
instance is not the same where you are developing your plug-ins. Are you
sure you have projects defined in the workspace configured in the Runtime
Workbench launch configuration?
