Eclipse PDE | get all the Projects available in current Workspace

Eclipse PDE’s API provides various functionalities to query different meta-data relevant to the current Eclipse workspace. Using following code snippet, all the projects of the current workspace can be retrieved as an array of IProject :

IProject[] allProjects = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProjects();

Further processing on this array can be performed e.g., to filter only open projects, as follows :

Set<IProject> activeProjects= new HashSet<IProject>(); 

for (IProject p : allProjects){
	if(p.isOpen())
		activeProjects.add(p);
}
