Is there a way to automate importing projects into Eclipse?

Question

For my current project, every time I set up a new workspace, I need to import hundreds of existing projects scattered in 20+ different directories. Is there a way to automate this step in Eclipse?

These projects are all checked into ClearCase.

Answer 1

This answer shows how to import an arbitrary set of projects into Eclipse using a custom plugin.

If I understand your question correctly, you would simply need to specify the paths of all the projects to import in the newprojects.txt file in the workspace root. You may want to remove the part that deletes existing projects though.
