Extensible plugin - how to ? [message #717988] |

Hi !
First of all, sorry for my poor english.
I would like to write an Eclipse plugin - a simple wizard that has on one of the pages the "list" (for example) of available options. These options are provided by additional plugins that are installed. User chooses one of those options, clicks Next and retrieves page generated by one of those additional plugins (dependent on which option was chosen).
For example:
I have a plugin that provides the "transformation" wizard when you can choose what you want to convert and then select the transformation type. Available types of transformations are provided by additional plugins -> for example: CSV->XML, CSV->other CSV, etc.
How to create this "main" wizard plugin that it will have the "list" of plugins that provides those "transformations" (from example above) and how to create those "specyfic transformation" plugins ? Should I create my own extension point ? If yes, how to get all plugins that are extending it and are installed in my Eclipse instanse ?
Thanks for response
Greetings.
Piotr Zajączkowski

Thanks for your reply, Saurav.
Yes, I think that your example shows my problem. Next problem is that I don't know how to check how this is implemented in Eclipse - it's neccessary for me to create such an option in my own plugin. Could you help me with that ?
I already know that I must provide my own extension point (I'll google how to do this), but how to get all plugins that extendes this extension point (in my example: provides transformations, in yours: provides views) ? Or this will be described in the article about creating own extension points ?
Greetings,
Piotr.
