WSAD plugin development documentation [message #201]

Hi,
I've been searching for documentation or tutorials on writing eclipse
plugins. In particular I intend to write a plugin that interacts with
WSAD's java perspective, perhaps writing to the console, flagging files,
etc. The articles on eclipse.org have been helpful to some extent, but I
haven't found any directly related to writing a plugin that interacts with
a WSAD perspective. The actual API reference is massive, and I'm left
guessing/using the debugger to figure out what packages and classes are
relevant.

Does anyone know where to find such documentation?

Many thanks,
Tim

3 responses:

* A perspective is (basically) just a collection of views and editors.
You don't usually interact with the perspective (except to
add/substract views and editors) but rather with its views and
editors.

* The views and editors in a WebSphere Studio's Java persp will depend
on

- JDT (i.e. platform (i.e. Eclipse) plugins)

- whatever WS*D plugins you have loaded

* I suspect that you can do most/all of what you wanna do using JDT
views/editors.

So, in general, mentally s/WSAD perspective/views and editors.

True. Instead, try reading the latest PDF from, and possibly following
the feedback in

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/contributingtoeclipse/

which is Beck and Gamma's Eclipse book.
