Chapter 1. Creating Your First Plug-in
Eclipse – an IDE for everything and nothing in particular.
Eclipse is a highly modular application consisting of hundreds of plug-ins, and can be extended by installing additional plug-ins. Plug-ins are developed and debugged with the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE).
In this chapter we will:
- Set up an Eclipse environment for doing plug-in development
- Create a plug-in with the new plug-in wizard
- Launch a new Eclipse instance with the plug-in enabled
- Debug the Eclipse plug-in
