Imitating Eclipse's "Open Project" UI Functionality

I am developing an Ant task that runs inside an Eclipse workbench.

The Ant task needs to complete a simple mission: closing and reopening a project.

However, the following code:

IProject project = ...;
project.close(null);
project.open(null);

Doesn't seem to have exactly the same outcome as closing a project and re-opening it using the UI.

It seems to me that the UI operation of "opening a project" consists of more than just calling project.open(); something along the the lines of calling plugins that "respond" to the project's open() call.

Is there a convenient way to imitate Eclipse's UI functionality of opening a project? I reckon that this code has to be encapsulated somewhere, but looking through Eclipse's vast source code doesn't seem to reveal much.

EDIT background:

I am actually using Rational Application Developer (v9). I am using the projectSetImport Ant task to import existing projects from the filesystem into the workbench. These projects are a part of Git repository. What I noticed is that, once the projects are imported into the workspace, the EGit functionality isn't available on these projects unless I close the projects and reopen them (through the UI).

The Project Open GUI code does not do much more than call IProject.open, it does use a progress monitor and an IWorkspaceRunnable - which will change the way resource change events are generated slightly.

The code is org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.OpenProjectAction - particularly the internalRun method.
