Customizing CARMA is done by creating Eclipse plugin projects
that handle the particular enhancement. This lesson will guide you
through creating an Eclipse plugin project specialized for this CARMA
tutorial.
To create a new Eclipse plugin project:
- Start Rational® Developer
for System z®.
- Select the Desired Workspace.
- If you are starting with a clean workspace, minimize the
Welcome Screen, and Create the new Rational Developer
for System z Eclipse Plug-in
Project from the current perspective by selecting File > New > Project.
- In the new project wizard, select Plug-in Development > Plug-in
Project. Click Next.
- Enter the appropriate name for the project in the Project
Name text field. Click Next.
- Ensure that the names in the Plug-in ID and
the Plug-in Name text fields correlate with
those specified with the particular plug-in project.
- Keep the default settings under Plug-in Options and Rich
Client Application. Click Next.
- Deselect the checkbox, Create a plug-in using one of
the templates, and click Finish.
- If you are prompted to open the Plug-ins Perspective,
select Yes to open that perspective now.
The wizard will close and you will see your project in the Package
Explorer view of the Plug-ins Perspective.
