Eclipse - New Project

I need to modify project creation in eclipse. I would like to add my own project creation. For example, when developer selectes File->New->Project, I want my option (i.e, XYZ Java Project) under to be available. Is this possible ? If yes, i am looking for some direction to begin with ?

Thanks.

  1. To begin with you need to contribute your own Eclipse Plug in. Download Eclipse plugin developers IDE from this location.

  2. You can contribute a Custom Project Wizard through Extensions.

  3. Define your Project Nature

For reference you can check this example: Create a Custom Project in Eclipse – New Project Wizard: the Behavior

Yes you can. A robust way to do this is to make an eclipse plugin so that it gets added to the menu. I was just looking into this myself a couple of days ago and this is what I found.

Here are some links:

Better yet though, let me just show you an answer about this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/299316/879485

If you use Maven you can have a look at archetypes. Maven also has the ability to create Eclipse projects. With this you should have all the tools necessary to automate whatever project layout you need to have.
