hello together,

i'm wirting a eclipse plugin which creates an file in a project but now
i want to add it in a certain position in the folder tree.

Or more generally how can i add a file to an existing folder structure?

thank you advanced,

Look at the API for IProject

public IFolder getFolder(String name); // returns null when folder
does not exist

Once you have the project, you can create new folders, or create a file in
an existing folder.

thx again :-),

public IFolder getFolder(String name);

// returns null when folder does not exist

i'm not quite sure if it really returns null when the folder doesn'T
exist. It seems to me that it returns even a folder if it doesn't exist.
It returns a Path which leeds into nowhere.

Waht i do is:

IContainer con...

System.out.println(con.getProject().getFolder("test").getLocation().toOSString())

any ggod ideas or am i still making one stupid mistake?

thank you in advanced
