Java代码中的Eclipse命令

Question

Is it possible to run eclipse commands through Java code? For example, I would like to write a Eclipse plug-in (Eclipse project) that deletes other Eclipse projects that have a given name. In Eclipse, to delete a project, we right click and click 'Delete'. Is there a way to do this through code.

Answer 1

To delete a project in the workspace you find the IProject object for the project and then call delete :

IProject project = ... get project

project.delete(true, false, progress monitor);

One way to find the project is:

IWorkspaceRoot root = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();

IProject project = root.getProject("project name");
