Comment 1 Milos Kleint 2006-06-22 10:37:23 UTC 
non trivial fix, we don't depend on j2se project type and there's no API for
accessing/writing the properties of the project. use of complex reflections
probably necessary.
1. from j2se project retrieve the instance of Updatehelper
2. get editable props from that and updat ethe main.class property.
3. save the j2se project
Comment 2 Milos Kleint 2006-06-23 10:35:15 UTC 
oh well, just hard copied the property values.
