Does a plug-in-project have to be a java-project? [message #256595]

Hi,

I am trying to ship some examples that can be used with my plugin as a plugin,
just as all the big projects (e.g. emf,uml2,gmf) do. The examples have nothing
to do with java and include no java code. Can I somehow just create a dumb
plugin container for my examples?

When you create a new plug-in project, there should be an option of
whether you want to include source code or not. If you uncheck that box,
you get a plug-in project that isn't a java project. These are common
for things like shipping documentation.

Note, when you uncheck the java box, you'll notice that the PDE
templates will include a sample help project as an option :)

Cheers,
