Creating a plug-in project

The first step in integrating an extension as a Rule Designer plug-in is to create a plug-in project and define its dependencies.

Before you begin

You create a Rule Designer plug-in project using the New Project wizard. The following procedure uses the ilog.rules.studio.model.bomDomainValueProviders extension point as an example.

Procedure

To create a plug-in project:

  1. Click File > New > Project.
  2. In the New Project wizard, select Plug-in Project and then click Next.
  3. In the Project Name field, type a name for your project and then click Next.
  4. On the Plug-in Content page, click Next.

    Do not modify the default values.

  5. On the Templates page, clear the Create a plug-in using one of the templates check box and then click Finish.
  6. If you are not already working in the Plug-in Development perspective, click Yes in the Open Associated Perspective dialog.
  7. Click the Dependencies tab of the plug-in editor.
  8. In the Required Plug-ins section, click Add and then select a plug-in in the Plug-in Selection dialog.

    For example, select ilog.rules.studio.model.

  9. Save the plug-in project.
