For more information on using linked resources, see the good general introduction

in the <i>Workbench User Guide</i>, under '''Concepts &gt; Workbench &gt; Linked resources'''.

The <i>Java Development User Guide</i> also has an excellent tutorial that helps you get started

with various types of project configurations.  Look under '''Getting Started &gt;

programmatically is found in the <i>Platform Plug-in Developer Guide</i>, under
