How add builder to the nature in this situation? [message #523997]

Hi,all:

The situation is this:
First our project has its own nature, and the nature with no builders at all. And customers use it for a long time, create many projects with that nature.

But now we add a builder to that nature, the builder build the project to some format. So the customer's old project has the nature but without the new builder. We do not want the custormer edit the .project file one by one.

So how do we add the builder to the project in background? Does eclipse has some function can do this easily?

Thanks~

Write a small upgrade plugin and use org.eclipse.ui.startup to run an
org.eclipse.ui.IStartup class. iterate over the projects, look for your
nature, and add your builder if it is not there from a
org.eclipse.core.resources.WorkspaceJob
