JDeveloper extension: how to save JDeveloper project with custom folders

Question

Hi!
I’m trying to add some custom folders/nodes to the project.
This code
Class MyFolder extends DefaultContainer
// another class
private void AMethod()
     JProject project;
     MyFolder folder = new MyFolder (name);
     project.add (folder, true);
adds a folder perfectly. But I cannot save added folder in the project, i.e. when I reopen my project there are no folder.

What version of JDev are you using?
Are you using projects with the setting "scan source path for project content?"
In any case here is some general information.
The class MyFolder must be a java bean. That is it must
have a default constructor (i.e., MyFolder()) and since
it must remember the name, it must have two accessor methods that get and set the folder name (i.e.,
public String getName(), and public void setName( String name )). The project saving mechanism will save this information in the project file and reload the information when the project is re-opened. Note that any two public method name get/setXXX are used by JDev to save and restore information about a project child.
