Display a file dialog that prompts only for Eclipse Project File location

How can I arbitrarily display the same file dialog that occurs from New -> File?

I have an Eclipse Action where I wish to display the project file path dialog, and not the system file path dialog, as seen in this image:

Eclipse Project File Dialog

Also there is one catch: I want to display existing files too, as I will not be creating a new file, but instead may be overwriting/synchronizing a file. If this is NOT possible, I'll still want to know how to just display the same dialog as is in New -> File.

To display a workspace file picker, you will need to do something along these lines:

ElementTreeSelectionDialog dialog = new ElementTreeSelectionDialog(
    shell,
    new WorkbenchLabelProvider(),
    new WorkbenchContentProvider());

dialog.setInput(ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot());
dialog.setAllowMultiple(false);

if (dialog.open() == Window.OK) {
    IResource resource = (IResource) dialog.getFirstResult();
}

ElementTreeSelectionDialog is quite customizable, so you can tune the behavior to your needs.
