headless new JavaProject from sources [message #482465]

I need to create programatically a java project from existing sources (in
a headless environment). Just like you would if you'd go to file - new
JavaProject - select "Create project form existing source" - enter the
folder name - click finish.

I've tried something like this :

NewJavaProjectWizardPageOne p = new NewJavaProjectWizardPageOne();
NewJavaProjectWizardPageTwo p2 = new NewJavaProjectWizardPageTwo(p);
p.setProjectLocationURI(new URI(string)); // path to project
p.setProjectName("myProject");
p2.performFinish(new NullProgressMonitor());

but I get a

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/eclipse/jdt/ui/wizards/NewJavaProjectWizardPageOne
at rcp.Application.createProject(Application.java:46)
at rcp.Application.start(Application.java:33)
at
org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(Eclips eAppHandle.java:194)
...

even if I add the jface jar file to the classpath with the -cp option...

Thank you,
George

Wizard is UI and hence it obviously won't work in headless mode.

Yes, but (some of) the code that creates the java project from sources is
written in the classes NewJavaProjectWizard...
So I hacked my way to a solution. I basically copied these classes (and a
couple of other classes) in the application code and changed them so that
they don't have anything to do with the UI. Then, of course, I used those
instead of the "real" ones.
