Body
I use eclipse to work on an application which was originally created independently of eclipse. As such, the application's directory structure is decidedly not eclipse-friendly. I want to programmatically generate a project for the application. The <code>.project</code> and <code>.classpath</code> files are easy enough to figure out, and I've learned that projects are stored in the workspace under <code><workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects</code> Unfortunately, some of the files under here (particularly <code>.location</code>) seem to be encoded in some kind of binary format. On a hunch I tried to deserialize it using <code>ObjectInputStream</code> - no dice. So it doesn't appear to be a serialized java object. My question is: is there a way to generate these files automatically? For the curious, the error I get trying to deserialize the <code>.location</code> file is the following: <code>java.io.StreamCorruptedException: java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 40B18B81</code> Update: My goal here is to be able to replace the New Java Project wizard with a command-line script or program. The reason is the application in question is actually a very large J2EE/weblogic application, which I like to break down into a largish (nearly 20) collection of subprojects. Complicating matters, we use clearcase for SCM and create a new branch for every release. This means I need to recreate these projects for every development view (branch) I create. This happens often enough to automate.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
