Create Plugin Eclipse project programmatically

Question

Is there a way to create a Plugin Eclipse project programmatically? I tried creating a java project but it doesn't include the Manifest file and the build.properties file. I added pluginnature but it still could not create those files. Any idea?

Right click in META-INF folder inside your project, New/File... Name it MANIFEST.MF. More info about the manifest file in Working with Manifest Files: The Basics — Luiggi Mendoza

I suspect this isn't possible directly, you'll prob have to write standard java code to create the MANIFEST.MF, build.properties etc. This is probably what the create project 'wizards' do... — Adam

You could try to invoke plugin project wizard programmatically, hide it's window, fill it with needed values and press the finish button. Here is example of how to call wizard: torkild.resheim.no/2010/07/invoking-eclipse-wizard.html — Konstantin V. Salikhov

Hi luiggi, i want to do it programmatically. I want to be able to create a customized plugin project with my own jars inside. I will try this one from Konstantin. — jantox
