CDT Process Type: ADDFILES [message #1770452]

Hello all,

I wish to copy and modify a bunch of files from a directory at C:\my_directory to the Eclipse Workspace. How do I go about doing that with the CDT template.xml? I will make C:\make_directory part of the environment variable.

The process type "AddFiles" shows how it can be done as long as the Source file is in the same directory as the template.xml, as shown by the snippet below, where the file "empty.c" is located in "src", which is in the same folder as template.xml.

<process type="org.eclipse.cdt.core.AddFiles">

<simple name="projectName" value="$(projectName)" />

<complex-array name="files">

<element>

<simple name="source" value="src/empty.c" />

<simple name="target" value="main.c" />

<simple name="replaceable" value="true" />

</element>

</complex-array>

</process>

Thank you.

Hi Faisal,

The AddFiles runner is here: http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/tree/core/org.eclipse.cdt.core/templateengine/org/eclipse/cdt/core/templateengine/process/processes/AddFiles.java?id=e8bfecea0bd1de460f3e855c210ecc446e8bb7c9#n75 as you can see from the highlighted line the source argument is passed to TemplateEngineHelper.getTemplateResourceURLRelativeToTemplate to convert it to an absolute path (see http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/tree/core/org.eclipse.cdt.core/templateengine/org/eclipse/cdt/core/templateengine/TemplateEngineHelper.java?id=e8bfecea0bd1de460f3e855c210ecc446e8bb7c9#n192)

What you need, to collect files from somewhere else, is to write your own process runner. The extension point you want is org.eclipse.cdt.core.templateProcessTypes (https://help.eclipse.org/oxygen/topic/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_cdt_core_templateProcessTypes.html) for example you can see how AddFiles is registered: http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/tree/core/org.eclipse.cdt.core/plugin.xml?id=e8bfecea0bd1de460f3e855c210ecc446e8bb7c9#n730
