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).
The workspace is a directory on the disk where the Eclipse platform and all the installed plug-ins store preferences, configurations and temporary information. Subsequent Eclipse invocations will use this storage to restore the previous state. As the name suggests, it is your "space of work".
An Eclipse workspace is a folder on the disk where the project and application files are stored. The default location for an Eclipse workspace is in the user's area (for example, c:\users\ username \).
File created by Eclipse when creating a new project; saved in an XML format and contains the project name, build specifications, and dependencies; used for saving and loading projects into the Eclipse IDE; uses the filename .
Not exactly a precise answer, but I just would point out the following sources for your question:
May between those three links you will find the actual documentation for workspace structure (if you do, post an answer here ;) )
