Corona HowTo: Include a New Plugin in Build
Revision as of 11:20, 18 December 2006 by Pawel.kaczmarek.compuware.com (Talk | contribs) (→Modify Build)
Plugin Structure
A Corona plugin is a regular Equinox plugin/fragment that conforms to Europa build practices. If a new plugin is created the following should be assured:
- 4-part version numbering should be used, the first three parts are numbers, the last is "qualifier" word, for example: 0.5.0.qualifier
- plugin must correctly list its required JVM versions in the manifest/plugin.xml
- build.properties file must list all files that should be included in the build result (the option bin.includes)
Modify Build
The following steps should be taken to include a new plugin in build:
- add the plugin to Corona Client and/or Server feature (steps for adding to Corona client feature)
- open org.eclipse.corona.client
- open feature.xml
- on Plug-ins and fragments tab select Add and select the new plugin
- then select Versions and select Synchronization options: "Copy versions from plug-in and fragment manifests"
- save the feature.xml and commit to CVS
- modify Corona maps for Corona client and/or server
- the maps can be found in maps folder in CVS under org.eclipse.corona
- add a line that represents the plugin, the line must specify plugin/fragment, name and CVS access parameters analogously to other defined entries in maps.
