Programmatically Create User Library [message #256342]

Does anyone know a programmatic way to create a User Library?

I have created an extension that provides a "New Custom Project". This new
wizard allows a user to select a location for the code that will become
linked resources. I would like to also create a User Library that includes
several jar files that are located based on the root location the user
enters in the new wizard.

I have searched everywhere but it looks as if the only way to do this is
from JDT Internal packages which I would rather not mess with.

Thanks

Here is an example that creates a user library "MyUserLibrary" with one entry "/path/to/first.jar":

ClasspathContainerInitializer initializer= JavaCore.getClasspathContainerInitializer(JavaCore.USER_LIBR ARY_CONTAINER_ID);
final String libraryName = "MyUserLibrary";
final String firstJarPath = "/path/to/first.jar";
IPath containerPath = new Path(JavaCore.USER_LIBRARY_CONTAINER_ID);
initializer.requestClasspathContainerUpdate(containerPath.ap pend(libraryName), null, new IClasspathContainer() {
public IPath getPath() {
return new Path(JavaCore.USER_LIBRARY_CONTAINER_ID).append(libraryName) ;
}
public int getKind() {
return K_APPLICATION;
}
public String getDescription() {
return libraryName;
}
public IClasspathEntry[] getClasspathEntries() {
return new IClasspathEntry[] {
JavaCore.newLibraryEntry(new Path(firstJarPath), null, null)
};
}
});

Hi, Jerome
Your example is very useful.

But I have another question, how can I get one exist User Library and its contained jars?
I know JavaCore.getUserLibraryNames() can return the user library name.
How can I get the defined user library's contained jars?
BTW, I do not have IProject.

Thanks!
