Re: [pde-dev] Question on plugins..

[Philip Borlin <pborlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let me point you to the documentation that you will want to read.  Lauch 
the Help Contents from the Help menu.

In the Contents pane  on the left browse through to Platform Plug-In 
Developer Guide/Programmer's Guide

To learn about adding menu items from there go to Plugging into the 
workbench/Menu and toolbar paths

To learn about launching applications take a look at Program debug and 
launch support/Launching a program

You may also want to check out a couple of articles:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Launch-Framework/launch.html
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Java-launch/launching-java.html

Good luck!
