Project Creation [message #799048]

My plug-in has an option to create a custom project in eclipse.

I create the project with some default contents and default folders.

Now, the folders are created by hard-coding the folder name using IPath and IProject.

I am thinking of either a properties file (or) a xml file where we can dictate the project contents.

The project creation should be based on that file.

Need some pointers on this.

Regards,
Aravind

Thanks for your reply.

You get the .project only after the project creation and the contents are available in that.

What i was asking was, the project creation should be dictated from a xml file?

The folders within the project should be configurable. So, if i include a node in that xml file, the project creation should have a folder created for it.
