The goal of this exercise is to include the method plug-in created
earlier to a copy of an existing configuration.
Before your new elements can be seen in the configuration view, you
need to add your new method plug-in to a configuration. We will add the new
method plug-in to a copy of the publish.openup configuration
and see the results in the Configuration view.
- Use the Open Perspective button
to switch to the Browsing perspective.
- Try to find your new content in the configuration view panel. For
example, look for My Design role set. You should not see it.
- Switch to the Authoring perspective and then expand the Configurations
node in the Library view panel.
- Make a copy of the publish.openup configuration by right-clicking
the configuration and selecting Copy. Right-click the Configurations folder
and click Paste. Name the new configuration "my.basic.configuration".
- Double-click my.basic.configuration to open the configuration.
- Click the Plug-in and Package Selection tab.
- Add my_plug-in to the configuration by checking the box
next to it in the Content section.
- Close the editor and save the changes.
- Change the current configuration to my.basic.configuration in
the configuration selection box in the main menu bar.
- Switch to the browsing perspective and look for your content in
the Configuration view. You should see My Design role set. You should
also see your new work products in the Uncategorized folder under Work
Product Kinds.
