How would I craft a script to remove a particular file from the build path for a java project in eclipse?

Hence; not going through the eclipse GUI, right click project, configure build path .. blah blah blah.

Much thanks in advance

    I’m not sure if you want to do this at runtime of your code or to have some external process to modify the build path for some other eclipse project. One way to achieve what you want is to programmatically modify the .classpath file inside the root of the project. You would then parse the XML for classpathentry. A typical .classpath might look like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6"/>
    <classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/someLib.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>
