I'm developing using a make based c++ framework and using a custom toolchain.
I know how to setup the include paths so eclipse can discover the libraries and headers of the framework, also properly index and verify the code.
But I'm needing to do this for every project, every time.
So I would like to create a simple plugin so it can import my projects into the workspace using the existent make file import wizard. Then it will set to the imported project the toolchain's and framework associated libraries and include files automatically.
could someone point me to any tutorial or document that would help with that challenge?

The Eclipse Plugin I am currently working on required me to import into the workspace and edit some existing source code in org.eclipse.jface.text.source.projection
because the method I needed to change happened to be private.
Now I am wondering: Can this change be somehow packaged into my plugin? Will I even be able to export this plugin and offer it for people to use?
I know AspectJ weaving would be an option but I wonder if there is another solution.
I have some thirdparty code I want to add to my nativescript (iOS) project. The code consists of a .framework file and a .bundle file which contains a .momd file. I was thinking of adding this via a custom plugin, the docs are pretty clear on how to add the .framework file, but am not sure how I add and reference the bundle and underlying .momd file. Does anyone have any experience of this that they can share please?
I spent a lot of time poring over the iOS interop documentation while working on my nativescript-midi plugin, but I don't recall seeing anything specifically on adding bundles or .momd files. If possible, I suggest you create a new "container" iOS framework project in which you can import your desired framework, bundle, and .momd file, and then import that combined framework project into your plugin via a Podfile. That's essentially the approach I took to import a C library in my project (the cocoa-midi-message-parser repo referenced by the Podfile in my plugin).
In case anyone else needs to do this. I ended up using cocoapods xcodeproj gem to inject my file into my workspace file. A gist of the working code is here.
I'm quite a noob programmer and I recently discovered Java Processing Language which can be run on Android.
So far I've been using a dedicated IDE to program it in but I've just found out I can program it in Eclipse which is my preferred IDE. The only problem is that they only tell you which libraries to import when creating a Processing project from a standard Java project. So every time I want to create a new project I have to create a Java project, go through all the import menus, search for the Processing system library, import the files, create a new class and import the library for the class.
Does anyone know how to create an eclipse plugin so I can just go to the NEW directory in eclipse and have a PROCESSING folder and a NEW PROCESSING PROJECT item that already has a generic class with the imported libraries?
I've been looking at online tutorials and I can't even figure out where to start.
The steps to create a Processing project from a Java one are explained here.
Thanks for any help!
I recommend having a look at the Proclipsing plugin which seems to do pretty much what you want to achieve. It's also open source so you can see how it was written and modify if you like.
A Processing project is a standard Java project with the Processing libraries added to build path. There is nothing more to Processing in this regard. So a specific Eclipse Processing plugin for this seems overkill (there are some other things like the different targets or samples that could make it useful though).
To easen up your current process: Create an Eclipse User Library for the Processing libraries. Menu Window > Preferences, Java > Build Path > User Libraries, New.... Add the Processing libraries. Now you can easily add the whole set to a project (right-click on the newly created Java project in the package explorer, Build Path > Add libraries > User Library).
If you want to change the standard template for Java classes to one including everything for Processing: Window > Preferences, Java > Code Style > Code Templates, Code > New Java files. This changes every newly created class, maybe it is better to just create a simple template to manually call at start: Java > Editor > Templates, New.... Then you would call the template every time you create a Processing main class but not for "normal" classes.
Ok... regarding the target audience of Processing a plugin may be a good idea. But then there is the dedicated Processing UI. Eclipse is not exactly a good introductory IDE.

Import existing projects into Eclipse works only for projects that were created in Eclipse.
And you're definitely not dealing with an Archive File here.
Import from the File System just copies the resources but does not actually create an Eclipse project for you.
What I would advise you, is to create a new Dynamic Web Project, configuring all the required facets, and then just copy all the contents of your existing app to the WebContent folder, either by drag'n'dropping it into the Project Explorer or by using Import from the File System, overwriting all the contents.
So far, there seems to be no other way to do it in Eclipse. However you may check out the similar post. The user #RC recommends using ant task for this process, but I'm more than sure that it won't configure all the required facets for you. It may work for some simple Java projects, but surely not enough for Java EE projects.
I have "myUserLib.userlibraries" file with all the required user libraries defined. As part of my plug-in that i developed (this will create web projects and required settings), i want to import this file to the projects created by the plug-in.
Is there any programatic way to import libraries from a file?
If you are developing a plugin to add these libraries to project classpath, I recommend that you consider writing a custom classpath container rather than re-using the user libraries facility. If you write a custom container, project classpath would include id of your container and JDT will query your code at runtime to get the actual list of classpath entries.
This will save you from having to store and maintain the contents of your library in workspace preferences, as you would have to do if you took the user library approach.
See org.eclipse.jdt.core.IClasspathContainer class.
Finally i got this worked the way i want. I am now able to programmatically upload the userlibraries into workspace preferences from "myuserlibs.userlibraries" file. I used following eclipse plugins classes.
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.UserLibrary.class
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.UserLibraryManager.class
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.UserLibraryClasspathContainer.class
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.UserLibraryClasspathContainerInitializer.class
These classes have bunch of methods to achieve this task.
Once they got uploaded in to preferences, i am also able to programmatically add required user library entries into a respective projects (created by my plugin). Because i have around 8 web projects in my workspace and all of them required different set of user libraries in their classpath container.
