Hi my name is Ankit, I am very new to Eclipse CDT. I want to create a new C++ project in workspace programmatically. I am using eclipse 3.7.1..
Somewhere in this forum i read that it can be done using the below code
IProject project = ResourceHelper.createCDTProject("ProjectHelperCreated");

ICProjectDescription projectDescription = CCorePlugin.getDefault().getProjectDescription(project);
ICConfigurationDescription activeConfiguration = projectDescription.getActiveConfiguration();
ICSourceEntry[] newSources = new ICSourceEntry[1];
newSources[0] = new CSourceEntry("ABSOLUTE_PATH", null, 0);
activeConfiguration.setSourceEntries(newSources);
projectDescription.setActiveConfiguration(activeConfiguration);
CoreModel.getDefault().setProjectDescription(project,projectDescription);

But i am unable to resolve the ResourceHelper class. i can nowhere find the plugin required for the above class.
Please help or tell me some other way of creating a new C++ project programmatically

You can try to install from most recent successful build https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cdt-maint/ but I am not sure if CDT Indigo maintenance builds include optional components. It was build assembly during transition to git/maven and not everything could be included.
Well, ResourceHelper methods are pretty much just wrappers for testing purpose. Here you can see the code http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/tree/core/org.eclipse.cdt.core.tests/suite/org/eclipse/cdt/core/testplugin. You really should clone CDT git repo if you get into plugin development with CDT.
