We need an API to programmatically generate a J2SE project. This should generate the J2SE project, initialise build files, create the necessary folder src,test etc., Use case: After uml modelling, the uml module needs to generate code. In such case it can use this API to generate a project and then generate code into the necessary source roots. In the absence of such API, it is not feasibile to initialise the build files, project.xml etc., with default values. This API should be provided by all project types registered in the IDE and not only J2SE project. see also: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=58133
There is already such a friend api - J2SEProjectBuilder
