Overview
The JWT Workflow Editor defines several extension points and mechanisms that allow users to customize and extend the abilities and properties of JWT-WE without changing the editor itself. However, there may be cases in which it becomes necessary to alter the Workflow Editor code itself, notably when the new features need to be implemented by committers of the JWT project. This page is intended to describe how third party suppliers can extend JWT-WE (e.g. with custom views on the model elements) through external plugins using the defined extension points as well as how JWT committers can deal with recurring tasks like adding new options to the Eclipse preferences dialog.
