Purpose
Ultimately, extension points and Java API in Eclipse exist for the purpose of enabling extenders to use the underlying components in their own applications. To the end, Eclipse projects concentrate on delivering extensible frameworks and exemplary tools. Following these principles, DTP has been designed to enable extension. The purpose of this page is to document the use cases covered by these extensions. In other words, we are anwsering the question "What can I build on DTP?"
Use Cases
In each section below, use cases are provided for each DTP project, to demonstrate extensibility dimensions.
