FIle format of eclipse workspace files

Is there a (good) documentation about the format of the eclipse workspace files (.location, x.tree, ...)?

I need this to programatically create a workspace for automated builds. Unfortunately I have to do this job from a .NET program, so I can't use any Eclipse classes to do this! (We manage our Linux C++ projects using Eclipse + CDT).

Not exactly a precise answer, but I just would point out the following sources for your question:

  • Eclipse Wiki,
  • Eclipse Workspace Team Blog
  • Eclipse platform mailing list

May between those three links you will find the actual documentation for workspace structure (if you do, post an answer here ;) )
