Creating a HelloWorld plug-in
To work through this example, we need to create a simple 'Hello
World' Eclipse plug-in. Creating Eclipse plug-ins is covered in more detail elsewhere
in this documentation, so we will just create a simple HelloWorld plug-in as
follows:
-
Create a new plug-in project by menuing to File > New > Other...
- Select Plug-in Development in the left pane, and Plug-in Project in
the right and click Next.
- Enter a name for your project, then click Next.
- On the next page, accept all defaults and click Next.
- Make sure Create a plug-in project using one of the templates is
selected, then select Hello, World from the list below and click Next.
- Accept all the defaults on this page and click Finish.
Now that we have a plug-in project, we can create a build.xml file for it to
manage plug-in deployment.
