Re: Extending Natures

Hi Joe,
as far as I know the base natures are specified statically in the
nature-file (ProjectDescriptor section).
You can't change it dynamically in the current implementation.
To do what you described, you will need to create two natures and
two project templates.

I hope it will change, there was a request from the RMI module and the
CORBA module to allow adding natures dynamically into the project, but
this feature was canceled. I hope this will change.
Adding natures should be quite easy to implement, removing the nature is
much worse and in my personal opinion it is not needed.
