Java API - how to add a non-empty folder to a component?


Cliff Gardiner (92831) | asked Apr 24 '17, 6:39 a.m.

Hello, I'm trying to automate a process that sets up RSA users in a standard manner but I'm struggling to understand how to add a populated Eclipse project (it's actually an 'empty' RSA model project containing a standard set of model elements) to a component.  The logic is:

  • Load template project from a stream in another project area
  • deregister the sandbox
  • rename the project folder
  • add to new component in new stream

It's the last bit I can't work out - I've created the stream, added the components, replaced with the correct baselines so the foundation is there but adding the renamed folder is the problem.  What I want is to achieve programmatically 'team -> share project .....'

Snippet2 shows creation of a new folder and adding a new file, but I haven't been able to modify this to work with a  pre-populated folder.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
