creating java project programmatically [message #326904]

I have a set of eclipse projects with .project and the .classpath files on
the filesystem. I would like import thse projects into a new workspace
programatically (something similar to new --> java project --> import from
existing source in the eclipse workbench). It would be better if the
source is not literally copied into the workspace directory.

Is it possible to acheive the above task programmatically. I googled for
some solution but all the links provide ways of creating fresh java
projects programmatically.

Suresh,

Using org.eclipse.ui.wizards.datatransfer.ImportOperation might help.

I would like to import this in an Eclipse application which would be
running from the command line. Can i still use the Import wizard mentioned
above?

I do not want to show the UI. Basically i have the eclipse projects
checked into our source code control system (which is not standard). I
want to automate the build process which would

1. check out the source code
2. create an eclipse workspace by importing these projects (by linking not
actually copying) into the workspace
3. Build the workspace.

All the above tasks need to be automated and laucnched from the
commandline. So the import wizards might not solve my purpose.

import the projects programmatically and then build the workspace with no
user intervention.

Suresh,

Have you looked at PDE builder and at Eclipse's support for Ant tasks?
