Default plugin.xml

Andrey Hihlovskiy edited this page Jul 2, 2014 · 16 revisions

Wuff generates default "plugin.xml" for the following applied plugins: "eclipse-bundle", "eclipse-equinox-app", "eclipse-ide-app", "eclipse-rcp-app".

If we provide our own "plugin.xml" (either in "src/main/resources" or project root), Wuff merges our version and default version to produce the resulting "plugin.xml".

The purpose of default "plugin.xml" is to eliminate/minimize manual coding of extension points for views, perspectives, applications and products. For example, if eclipse plugin contains java class XyzView.java, Wuff generates extension-point "org.eclipse.ui.views" with corresponding link to the class.

Let's move on to concrete example of "plugin.xml" for Eclipse bundle.
