Creating a visualizer plug-in

Because the visualizer is a Page Designer plug-in, you will develop the visualizer in a plug-in project.

To create a plug-in project.

1. Select

   File | New | Project from the menu. The New Project wizard page appears.

2. Select

   Plug-in Development | Plug-in Project and then click Next. The

   "New Plug-in Project" page is displayed.

3. Enter a project name. Make sure Eclipse V3.2 is selected in the Target Platform. Then click Next. The

   "New Plug-in Content" page appears.

4. Click Next. The

   "New Plug-in Project - Templates" page appears.

5. Deselect

   Create a plug-in using one of the templates, and click Finish.

You are now ready to update the
