Hi Kevin--
There are a couple of different answers for this.
If your goal is your own testing, and you've written this in the same
Eclipse workspace as the VTP source, then you should just be able to
launch a runtime workbench and have access to it there. Create/modify
your application to use the new formatter, then export and test.
The point at which you connect an application to the custom voice
formatter is in a Voice project. Create a new Voice project; when you
get to the screen where you provide a name, you should see your new
formatter in the "Formatter" drop-down box; if you don't, go back and
check your Extensions in the MANIFEST.MF file for the formatter project.
If you're trying to share it, then you'll want to export it as a
deployable plugin and fragment, and then get it into the other
developers' OpenVXML's / Eclipse's plugin folders.
I hope this helps -- good luck.

Hi Randy, thanks for your reply. 
I'm not really familiar with Eclipse plugin development - there were no Extensions declared in the manifest, so I added org.eclipse.vtp.framework.interactions.core.formatterTypes and pointed the class to my formatter class. Not sure if this is right as the tutorial doesn't mention this step.
I will eventually need to export the new formatter but I seemed able to do this just fine and it appears installed in my VTP workspace. However neither doing this nor launching a runtime workbench made the formatter appear as an option when creating a voice project, so I assume I still don't have the extensions configured correctly. Can you advise on what should appear there in the manifest?
Thanks
Kevin

Kevin, you're part of the way there. For the sake of clarity (and for
the benefit of others why may have the same problem), I'm going to be
thorough and pedantic about the extensions to be added, and hopefully
this will help you find what's missing.
For the new voice formatter project, in the MANIFEST.MF file, there need
to be 2 extensions added, and then an additional element under one.
org.eclipse.vtp.framework.interaction.core.formatterTypes
<additional formatter element>
org.eclipse.vtp.framework.core.services
Neither of the two extensions have any configuration (ID or Name);
what's important is that they exist. The element added under the
formatterTypes extension does need to be configured, though. For
example, the configuration for one I've got looks like this.
id: com.openmethods.ovxml.language.spanish.formatter
name: Simple Spanish Voice Formatter
interaction-type: org.eclipse.vtp.framework.interactions.voice.
interaction
class: com.openmethods.ovxml.language.spanish.
SimpleSpanishVoiceFormatter
vendor-name: OpenMethods
Note that the "class" entry should be the specific class name of the
class that extends VoiceFormatter.
Good luck,
Randy
