Pluglets are small Java™ applications that are used to make minor
extensions to the workbench in a simple and straightforward way. Pluglets
are written in Java and reside in a pluglet project.
The pluglet can be tested in the same instance of the workbench just
like any other Java application. Pluglet authors
can use the Java development environment, and
they have access to the application programming interfaces (APIs)
of the workbench plug-ins to extend and implement the existing pluglets.

create pluglet projects and pluglets, and how to run pluglets.
