Hi,

I am trying to find a way to programmatically invoke the import "Existing projects into workspace". I can invoke the Import wizard but I can't find a way to programmatically select the list of project i want to be imported in workspace and without invoking the wizard. Is there a way to do this directly? I'm trying to bypass the wizard and only calling the import "Existing projects into workspace" on the project(s) i want to import. I tried this:

 // Get list of model test project and import project into workspace
    ExternalProjectImportWizard wizard = new ExternalProjectImportWizard();
    wizard.init(PlatformUI.getWorkbench(), null);
    wizard.addPages();
    WizardProjectsImportPage page = (WizardProjectsImportPage) wizard.getPage("wizardExternalProjectsPage");
    page.updateProjectsList("D:\\model");
    wizard.performFinish();

But it doesn't work and ends up with a NPE. What am i doing wrong ? Sad

Thanks

There isn't an API to do that. You have to hack around the internal
classes (which might be broken on the future releases)

This works for me:

IProjectDescription description = null;
    try {
      description = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().loadProjectDescription(new Path(PROJECT_PATH + "/.project")); //$NON-NLS-1$ 
      IProject project = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject(description.getName());
      project.create(description, null);
      project.open(null);
    } catch (CoreException exception_p) {
      exception_p.printStackTrace();
    }
