Hi,
is it possible to create a project as an eclipse plug-in? I'd like user
could install examples (download example files and set requested
variables) automatically.
Thanks for answer in advance.

Agata,

Yes, it's possible. Whether a project is a plugin project is determined
by the contents of the .project file.

Could you help me a bit more? What am I to do to have such plugin as
project?
Is it only "natures" property in .project? Where can I find more info?

I don't know if I really understand you, so ignore my comment if it's
not what you mean...

You can simply create a new "Plug-in" Project. This is right under "Java
Project" in the new Project wizard. If that entry is not there, you
maybe don't have the "PDE" installed. (I'm not sure). Then you could try
the RCP/Plugin Edition of Eclipse.

No, I need to create the plugin, but I want this plugin to create new
project in user workspace, copy files to this project and set some
variables. I would like the plugin to do something like importing project
to the workspace, but automatically.

Agad,

Why not create exactly the project you want manually, and then use that
as the template for what you need to create automatically? What you're
doing is perhaps not so different from EMF's
org.eclipse.emf.common.ui.wizard.AbstractExampleInstallerWiz ard which is
designed to allow one to register examples to be installed in the
workspace, so you might want to look at the EMF source. It uses
org.eclipse.ui.wizards.datatransfer.ImportOperation so you could have a
look at that too.
