Plugin/Feature Configuration Guidelines
This page describes the guidelines when creating new plugins for the EMFStore.
For the following settings we assume that we want to create a new plugin "test".
Contents
General settings
These settings can be modified in the "New Plug-in Project" wizard.
Namespace
The plugin-name should begin with "org.eclipse.emf.emfstore". Therefore the name of our test plugin and the prefix for the packages would be "org.eclipse.emf.emfstore.test".
Execution Environment
As JRE version the plugin should use 1.5, so please select "JSE-1.5".
Version
As version please use the current version (see in other plugin) plus the qualifier, e.g. "0.9.0.qualifier".
Name
Enter a describing name for your plugin plus "(Incubation)", e.g. "Cool Test Plugin (Incubation)".
Provider
For the provider please enter "Eclipse Modeling Project".
Dependencies
When adding dependencies to your project please note the following giudelines:
- Internal plugins (plugins of emfstore) should not have any version matching settings.
- External plugins should have the needed minimum version and the next major version as maximum version, e.g. [4.8.1, 5.0.0).
- Reexport dependencies when they are used in other plugins depending on your plugin to reduce the maintaining efford.
