I'd like to get started with some simple plug-in development for Eclipse.
My plug-ins will focus on Java development. I've got a book or two on
Eclipse Development, and I've also been doing some reading online.
Although I understand the basics of plug-in development in Eclipse, I'm
having trouble determining wher I need to start.
I think I need help in choosing an extension point and the type of
contribution for my plug-in. I was hoping I might get pointed in the
right direction here. All I really need is some general direction and
maybe the name of some classes to check out in the Javadoc.
My first plug-in will document information about public methods of
external classes called within the methods of a Java class that is part of
an Eclipse project. I imagine the plug-in could be executed by a menu item
and I could just use the currently active class file in the Java editor.
(I could allow the user to select a java class file from any Java project
in Eclipse, but I think this would be a little more complicated. I want to
keep it simple for my first try at plug-in development.)
I know that I will be working with some JDT code to do the main work of my
plug-in. What I really is some help figuring out where I would contribute
this type of behavior to Eclipse. Can anyone give me a suggestion for the
appropriate extension point and/or type of contributionbased on the basic
description of my plug-in tha tI provided above?
Thanks for the help. I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this
question. If it is not, I ask that you accept my apology and point me to
the correct forum.
