How can I package my sample code for contribution to the examples plugin?
The org.eclipse.ajdt.examples plugin contains various sample projects which
are made available under
the Examples category of the New wizard, from where they can be imported into
your workspace as AspectJ projects.
It is easy to add new samples to this plugin, as follows:
- Create a jar file containing your source code, and at least one build c
onfiguration file. Place this
in the archive folder of the examples plugin.
- Add an entry to the plugin.xml file for your sample project, by copying
one of the existing entries.
- Change the src attribute of the import element to refer to your jar
file, and change the title,
description, pagetitle, and pagedescription property names as appropriate, and add
corresponding entries to the plugin.properties file.
- Change the build attribute to refer to your default build configuration
file. Your project may contain
more configurations but the one specified here will be the one used to
initially build the project.
- Optionally, you can specify an open attribute to the projectsetup element,
which refers to a file,
such as a README file, which is opened after the project has been imported
to the workspace.
