[cdt-ui-dev] [CDT 4] Is there a way of creating a C/C++ project without

[Nils Kronqvist <nils.kronqvist@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Background: 

I'm creating a file import wizard that will import an existing C/C++ "component"
structure into CDT. Each of the components has a root directory, and contain
build spec files with references to other components needed for build and
browse etc. Hence the import wizard should offer to import relevant referenced
projects into the workspace.

The flow of the wizard will basically
be: 

1. Browse to the component (directory)  to import
2a. If the component contains a CDT project definition - fine, can be read.
2b. If the component doesn't contain a CDT project - a project needs to
be created ... 
3. After selecting a component, the wizard will show a list of referred
components, of which some needs to be created ... 

Since all info for the project creating is known (i.e. name, location,
toolchain etc), a gui-less invocation would be nice - also allowing it
to be saved for a final page: "I will create this .. ok/cancel"
instead of invoking the New Project wizard a number of times from the Import
wizard which feels like bad gui design ... 

There is no formal API or extension point for this, and looking at the
wizard implementation (CDTCommonProjectWizard
etc), it doesn't seem trivial/possible to invoke GUI less without duplicating
(ugh ..) much code. 

Any tips are appreciated.
