[udig-devel] Custom Create Project tool

[Richard Gould]

Hi Angus,

Here is the code I use to create a project:

ProjectRegistry registry =
ProjectPlugin.getPlugin().getProjectRegistry();

String path = new File(Platform.getLocation().toString() +
File.separatorChar + "someProject.udig").getAbsolutePath();

Project project = registry.getProject(path);

It's not obvious, but "getting" a project that does not exist will
create it automatically.

Cheers

Richard
