project type / nature [message #505394]

i have define a new perspective, say "MyPerspective", I ultimately want to create my own Project ,"MyProjectType" and related XML source files. So when I go into FILE > NEW> PROJECT > "MyProjectType" will come up.

The execution of this command will create say
myproject1 folder (in the current workspace) &
resource1template.xml
resource2template.xml

I am a bit confused and was thinking the project type is equivalent to the project nature??

Does anybody know the class and method, that I should be putting my code in order to create the above project structure...
I'm not experienced in Java or Eclipse, so any help would be much appreciated..

Project Nature is more like identifying the type of a project. What I feel you need is to create
project template for "MyProjectType" to appear in that New wizard. Have a look at following links to
see how to do it

thanks for response, is this the only way to you can create a new project template. cdt uses the c compiler which I don't really need. ie I just want to create a simple xml file file in the project... Is there no a java utilty which does a similar job.. without installing a c compiler..?
