In this lesson, you will defined the dependencies and the
three extension points: actionValidators, parameterValidators,
and customParameterControl.
Note: Before you complete this lesson you should
create an Eclipse plug-in project with
the following attributes:
- Project Name: com.ibm.carma.plugin.howto
- ID: com.ibm.carma.plugin.howto
- Name: HowTo Action
- Open the Plug-in Manifest Editor by
right clicking on the com.ibm.carma.plugin.howto plugin
project, and selecting PDE Tools > Open
Manifest.
- Start by adding the dependency. Select the Dependencies tab
at the bottom of the Plug-in Manifest Editor.
- Click the Add button under the Required
Plug-ins panel. The Plug-in Selection dialog
box will open.
- Filter for the com.ibm.carma.ui plugin,
select it when it appears, and click OK.
- Next, add the extensions to the plug-in project. Select
the Extensions tab and filter for each of the
following:
- com.ibm.carma.ui.parameterValidators,
- com.ibm.carma.actionValidators,
- com.ibm.carma.customParameterControls
In the next three lessons, you will configure each of the
extensions to be associated with the HowTo custom action and its parameters.
