  Tutorial: Develop Your Own Plugins for Eclipse, Part 1

This article series is intended provide you the basic information necessary to quickly code your first plugin. The resources section will point to all of the necessary introductory materials.

Tutorial Details:

Eclipse is a nice IDE, of course, but it's arguably the best platform for hosting your own applications. Using Eclipse facilities spares you from re-coding, for the 100th time, a framework for dealing with online help, generating wizards, or saving a file to disk. Eclipse ships with many helpful features, such as a Lucene-ready engine for searching your help documentation. Like any object-oriented developer, you don't want to reinvent the wheel.

This first installment will introduce the application to be delivered, all of the vocabulary required, and will explain how to package your plugins. Please note that we'll use the term ${eclipse.home} to indicate the Eclipse home directory; i.e., the directory where eclipse.exe or the eclipse.sh file lives.
