project existence checking [message #92959]

Problem: how to test if a project actually exists?

I create a project and then delete it from the Resource view. The project
folder is removed from the file system. Yet when using the following code I
find that the project still exists in the workspace's projectTable cache.
The example code returns true if the file exists. Upon further inspection
myWebProject.isOpen() returns false but I need to know if the project has
been removed from the workspace.

IProject myWebProject = myWorkspaceRoot.getProject("MyWeb");
// open if necessary
return myWebProject.exists();

Project existance is perspective/view independant. If you are using
IProject.delete() to delete the project from the workspace, then
IProject.exists() should return false when calling. (assuming that the
project deletion completed successfully)

If this is not the case then I would suggest opening a bug report against
Platform/Core. Include the build id that you are using, the VM that you are
running, the filesystem type you are using (FAT, NTFS, etc) and the exact
steps to reproduce your problem.

Thanks.
