[cdt-dev] Setting Environment Variables though code

[Tomas <tomas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I posted this question in the eclipse-tools-cdt, but I'm sure is the 
best place, so I will post it here as well.

I'm developing a plug-in that extends CDT for some embedded programming. 
In that plug-in, I execute some scripts that read environment variables 
from CDT. Setting up those variables manually works(in the properties of 
the project), but I need to set them up within my plug-in code. I tried 
to modify the ".project" file, but that won't load the variables into 
the workspace (for example, doing that and going to the list of 
variables in the project properties don't show the new variables).  Is 
there any way to set those variables so they will be loaded into the 
workspace? Maybe it can be done by changing the project file and call 
some eclipse method that will re-read the file, but right now I have no 
clue how to do that.

Thank you very much in advance

Tomas
