To create advanced design search patterns, you must create a plug-in that contains all
the required components.
Procedure
- Open the Plug-in Development perspective.
- Select .
The plug-in project wizard opens.
- In the Plug-in Project page, enter a Project name
and click Next.
- In the Content page, leave the default options and click
Next.
- In the Templates page, do not select any template.
- Click Finish.
The plug-in where you can describe your advanced design search patterns is initialized in
Eclipse. You can see it in the Package Explorer view of the
Plug-in Development perspective.
For more information on how to
create a plug-in, see the sections and in the Plug-in Development
Environment (PDE) User Guide of the Eclipse documentation.
- In the plug-in editor that opens, click the Dependencies tab. Add the
dependencies to the plug-ins that are required to implement the Java classes of the advanced search
patterns: com.ibm.pdp.maf.rpp and com.ibm.pdp.maf.rpp.model.
What to do next
For each new advanced design search pattern, you must instantiate the extension point that is
supplied by the com.ibm.pdp.maf.rpp plug-in.
