How to create universe folder in BO XI via SDK

Question

Hi all,
I'm just starting to use the BOXI SDK. I've used the sample to create new folders, it worked perfectly.
But now I would like to create new universe folders but I have no idea how to do it. Here is the sample to create a folder :
int addFolder (int parentFolderID, String folderName, String folderDescription, IInfoStore infoStore)
    int objectID = 0;
    try
     * Since folders are implemented using a plugin,
     * you will need the PluginManager to retrieve the folder plugin.
    IPluginMgr pluginMgr = infoStore.getPluginMgr();
     * Retrieve the Folder plugin by passing the plugin ProgID
     * to the PluginInfo property of the PluginManager.
    //IPluginInfo folderPlugin = pluginMgr.getPluginInfo("CrystalEnterprise.Folder");
    IPluginInfo folderPlugin = pluginMgr.getPluginInfo("CrystalEnterprise.Folder");
    // Create a new, empty InfoObject collection.
    IInfoObjects newInfoObjects = infoStore.newInfoObjectCollection();
     * Give the Folder plugin object to the Add method.  This
     * creates a new InfoObject based on the plugin type.
     * In this case, since the plugin is the folder plugin,
     * the object created is a folder object.
    newInfoObjects.add(folderPlugin);
       IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject) newInfoObjects.get(0);
    // Specify the folder's details._ENDLOC   _
    infoObject.setTitle (folderName);
    infoObject.setDescription (folderDescription);
    objectID = infoObject.getID();
     * The next line indicates where in the folder tree the
     * folder is to be created.  It does this by setting the
     * parent ID property or, in other words, by telling the folder
     * which folder is its parent. If the parent ID property is
     * zero, then the folder has no parent and is thus a top-level
     * folder.
    infoObject.properties().setProperty(CePropertyID.SI_PARENTID, parentFolderID);
     * Use the infoStore to commit the new collection with the new folder
     * to the CMS database.
    infoStore.commit (newInfoObjects);
     }catch (SDKException e) {
          throw new Error("Impossible d'ajouter le dossier. Exception survenue : "
                                  + e.getMessage());
     }catch (NullPointerException e) {
          throw new Error("Impossible d'ajouter le dossier. Exception survenue : "
                                  + e.getMessage());
    return objectID;
Could someone give me some clues or code sample (preferably in Java or C#) in order to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for all information and help you could provide.
Best regards,

I wouldn't expect the code to be any different for universe folders, you just need to find the id for the top level folder for the universes.  It might be easiest to add a folder there manually and check its properties.
