Creating work items dynamically at project initialization
I understand that I can create a Process Template and define some work items. These work items will showup when this process is used when creating a project.
The situation is this. Developing a software module always requires a set of predefined work items. For example, develop a web ui, develop the web ui input validation, etc. Let's say there are 10 work items per developing a module. These work items are the same for all the modules. If I had 20 modules to develop that means I have to manually create 20 x 10 work items every time I start a new project.
So I'd like to automate this creation of work items. At project creation time, a program will be activated that reads in the module infos and then creates the work items for each and all the modules.
Can something like this be done?

One answer
The existing "Setup Project" follow-up action is contributed via the
com.ibm.team.process.service.operationParticipants extension point
("follow-up actions" are called "participants" in the implementation).
You can contribute your own extensions to this extension point in an
Eclipse plugin.
To see how the Setup Project participant is contributed, look at the
plugin.xml file in the com.ibm.team.process.definitions.server plugin.
