Problem adding aspect to a plugin project programatically [message #65784]

Hi,

I have three questions. I would appreciate if you could help me.

1. I'm using eclipse 3.2RC4. After changing a plugin project's class
path programmatically using IJavaProject.setRawClasspah method,
MANIFEST.MF file still contains the old classpath information under its
Bundle-ClassPath item. What can I do in order to solve this problem?

2. I wrote some code that changes the MANIFEST.MF file to contain the
new classpath information, but still the project contain an error until
I manually (from the the gui) change MANIFEST.MF a bit and press "Save".
How can I can make the project respond to changes of MANIFEST.MF file?

3. How can I add and remove AspectJ nature of a project, without being
prompted by dialog windows regarding AspectJ settings?

Thank you in advance,

Michael

Manifest files are a feature of plug-ins projects and are therefore
handled by PDE. So to update MANIFEST.MF you need to use api from PDE.
Unfortunately I don't know of public api to do this - in AJDT we use
internal api for the manifest editor (which is why the manifest editor
opens when you convert a plug-in project).

You could try obtaining the MANIFEST.MF file as an IResource then
calling refreshLocal() on it.

Use the following public api in org.eclipse.ajdt.ui:
AspectJUIPlugin.convertToAspectJProject(project)
AspectJUIPlugin.convertFromAspectJProject(project)

Matt.
