The example below defines a create participant. The participant is enabled if one of the project affected by the refactoring has a Java nature and when the element to be created is a folder.

<createParticipant id=

"org.myCompany.createParticipant"

name=

"%CreateParticipant.name"

class=

"org.myCompany.CreateParticipant"

>

<enablement>

<with variable=

"affectedNatures"

>

<iterate operator=

"or"

>

<equals value=

"org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature"

/>

</iterate>

</with>

<with variable=

"element"

>

<instanceof value=

"org.eclipse.core.resources.IFolder"

/>

</with>

</enablement>

</createParticipant>
