Quick bare .project file for a directory or list of directories for importation into Eclipse as stand alone "project"...

gistfile1.sh

#!/bin/sh

# generates an empty .project file with just the name of the directory
# being used as the project name

# USAGE:
if [ "$1" = "-h" -o "$1" = "--help" ]; then
	echo; echo "Usage: $0 [options]"
	echo; echo "== Options"
	echo; echo -e "Pass the string \"sub\" to generate empty .project files for \
		sub-directories of this directory."
	exit 0
fi

# writes the project file
write_project_file() {
	project_xml="$(cat<<EOF
<projectDescription>
\n\t<name>
\n\t\t$1
\n\t</name>
\n</projectDescription>
EOF
)"

	echo $project_xml > .project
}

if [ "$1" = "sub" ]; then
	# go through sub-directories creating .project files for each,
	# this is of little use, but it's here just 'cause :)
	for i in *; do
		[[ -d "$i" ]] && {
			cd "$i"
			write_project_file "$i"
			cd ..
		}
	done
else
	# only write .project file for current directory: 
	# ${PWD##*/} gets current directory name (not full path)
	write_project_file "${PWD##*/}"
