Is it possible for the plug-in I'm developing to programmatically add an
external tool? The only documentation I can find on the external tools is
how to manually configure them (found in the Eclipse Workbench User Guide),
but that's not an option. Can anyone help? Thanks.
==================
Background Info:
My team is developing a plug-in (our first Eclipse-based project) that will
allow users to create a specific type of project. When a project of this
type is created, a template XML file is created for them (and, possibly,
some template Java classes). Once the user completes the development of
these templates, they need to run our builder tool, which, in its current
form, runs as a standalone Java program. Eventually, we will migrate the
builder code to operate within the plug-in and configure it into the project
build function (via a custom nature). But in the interest of getting
something out to our users as quickly as possible, we investigated the
external tools idea. A quick proof of concept showed that this idea will
work, but the PoC was done manually, and we really don't want to ask the
users to do this configuration themselves.
