IIRC, you can set the symbol in the corresponding indexer property page
just as well (in case you do not want to compile what you generate;-).

That I don't know. I guess, a simple file IO would do as well - like
this:

File file = new File(project.getLocation().toFile, "file.c");
BufferedWriter os = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));
try {
	os.write(text);
	os.flush();
}
finally {
	os.close();
}

Cheers,

Walter
