Adding new plugins
To add new plug-ins you need to make changes in several places in the org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv plug-in:
- platformOptions.txt
- the plug-in's source folder(s) must be included on the -sourcepath
- code of required plug-ins must be added on the -classpath
- non-JARed plug-ins: Path(s) to the JAR(s)
- JARed plug-ins: <plugin>/@dot
- plug-ins not built during the platform build: Name of the built JAR (Caveat: remember to update the version in the reference when a new version is used)
- the API package names must be included in the (alphabetical) package list at the end of the file
- buildDoc.xml
- If a plug-in contributes extension points, it should be added to the list of plug-ins in the <convertSchemaToHTML> task in the buildDoc.xml of the corresponding documentation plug-in.
- plugin.xml
- If your plugin has Javadoc API, add a line to plugin.xml under the org.eclipse.pde.core.javadoc extension to associate your plug-in's Javadoc with the reference section for this doc plug-in.
Adding new API packages
- package.html
- Create a package.html file for your API package, and place it in the package alongside the source code
- topics_Reference.xml
- add a line for each API package
- reference/misc/overview-platform.html
- add the API packages to the corresponding section
- platformOptions.txt
- the API package names must be included in the (alphabetical) package list at the end of the file
Adding new extension points
- reference/extension-points/index.html
- add a line for each extension point
- topics_Reference.xml
- add a line for each extension point
