I'm not sure whether this is a JDT question, or a core question, but since
it's a Java file I'll start here.
I'm writing a wizard that will generate a Java source file. So I've got a
string representing the package name, and a string representing the class
name. Now I just want to create the file and insert it into the project.
This is supposed to be the easy part :-).
My head is about to explode from trying to navigate the object hierarchy
that may or may not be involved in this -- IJavaElement, IFile, IResource,
IContainer, IWorkspaceRoot, IJavaProject, IPackageFragement. I've probably
tried two dozen different permutations of things that look like they ought
to work, but in most cases I just get an exception thrown.
What do I actually need to call to do this?
- Take the package name, find it in my workspace. If it doesn't exist,
create it.
- Take the class name, create a.java source file for it in the package (and
if I can point to a template to be used to create the file content, even
better)
Thanks .
Mike

Here is the simple code for creating a file in project.
IProject project;
....
// assume you want to create a file (src/mypackage/MyClass.java)
IFolder srcFolder = project.getFolder("src");
if (!srcFolder.exists())
srcFolder.create(true, true, null);
IFolder packageFolder = srcFolder.getFolder("mypackage");
if (!packageFolder.exists())
packageFolder.create(true, true, null);
IFile classFile = packageFolder.getFile("MyClass.java");
ByteArrayInputStream content = new ByteArrayInputStream("class content
here".getBytes());
classFile.create(content, true, null);

Thanks for your help on this ... still trying to work out a last detail or
two.
I don't want to be dependent on their being a folder called 'src' -- in my
example project, for example, there isn't one, and packages are rooted
directly under the project, rather than under a src folder.
I'm not sure if there is a reliable way to get the 'root' folder -- either
the project folder, or a 'src' or 'source' or whatever the user may have
called it.
I have an IResource (IFile) of another Java file that is in the project, but
which isn't in the same package as the element I'm creating. I thought I
might be able to walk up the tree (IResource.getParent()) until I found an
element where instanceof IFolder was true, and then create a package
fragment there. But it turns out that instanceof IFolder is true for all of
the package pieces, also. So I had code in com.mycompany.example, and
wanted to create a new package com.mycompany.codegen, but what I ended up
with instead was com.mycompany.example.com.mycompany.codegen.
So is there a way to walk up the tree (or some other process) that gets me
to the 'parent of com' (without explicitly testing for that, since I don't
want to break if the code is in a different top-level domain, or even
(horrors) the default package.

I think this is resolved now -- I'm using
project.getAllPackageFragmentRoots, and then creating a package fragment
under the first root for which isArchive() and isExternal() both return
false.
If the user has more than one qualifying root, I'm not sure there would be a
reliable way to pick the 'right' one.
