Create a new xml file from java code [message #846090]

Hi,

I like to parse the java code with jdt and then write by code some xml or other file. Im am using this code:

IPackageFragment ppp = xfragmentRoot.createPackageFragment(gen.packageName, false, null);
ppp.createCompilationUnit(gen.name, gen.content.toString(), true, null);

If I try to create a xml file (i.e. gen.name = "abc.xml"), the this exception is throw:

Caused by: Java Model Exception: Java Model Status [Invalid name specified: abc.xml]
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaModelOperation.runOperation(JavaModelOperation.java:784)
at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.PackageFragment.createCompilationUnit(PackageFragment.java:145)

How can I write a xml (or other extensions)?

Thanks in advance for help!

Compilation Units are for Java source files, only.
Hence .xml is not accepted as the extension.

For other files use types below org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource.

Starting from an IPackageFragment you may want to do s.t. like

  IFolder packageFolder = pkg.getResource();
  IFile file = packageFolder.getFile(new Path(...));
  file.create(..);

HTH,
Stephan
