How to get IProject Properties

Question

In Eclipse, when you right click a project and go to Properties, you can see all the Properties for that project. I want to be able to retrieve these properties with my IProject . Is there a good way to do this? I have looked into IResource and have been trying to figure out if I can use it to retrieve the properties. The IResource API can be found here

You can study the source of an individual property page to see how it is getting the properties. However the API used may be an internal API which you should not use.

Use Eclipse Plugin Spy to find out which class is displaying a particular property page:
