To create the file:


Procedure

  1. In the Package Explorer view, right-click the myNewExtensionsPlugin project and select New > Folder.

  2. In the Folder name field, enter config, and click Finish.

  3. Right-click the config folder and select New > File.

  4. In the File name field, enter config.ini, and click Finish. The config.ini file opens for editing.

  5. Add the following line to the config.ini file to indicate that instead of using the default findProductQuickStackDefinition, the IBM Sales Center should display the findProductQuickStackDefinition in the plug-in: com.ibm.commerce.telesales.ui.impl.findProductQuickStackDefinition=myNewExtensionsPlugin.findProductQuickStackDefinition

  6. Save and close the config.ini file.
