Can a plug-in automatically refresh a project? [message #291022]

I have created a plug-in for Eclipse that, among other tasks, creates a
new file in my project. It uses standard java file I/O commands to do
this. The problem is that the file doesn't show up in the project until I
refresh the project. This is a little annoying. Is there a way to either
a) create the file in such a way that Eclipse registers it in the project
automatically, or b) create the file normally, then somehow register it
with Eclipse so that it shows up in the project, or c) create the file
normally, then cause Eclipse to refresh the project and find the file in
the file system?

Since you can get the IProject, you can use IProject#getFile(String) and
IFile#create(...) to create it. Then eclipse automatically knows about it.
