=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.
 
 
=Check if the Automated build works=
 
Verify if the currently configured build works correctly.
