| <p> |
| <a href="workbench.htm">Plugging into the workbench</a> looks at the basic workbench extension points in the |
| context of the readme tool example. However, there are many more extension points available for contributing to the |
| workbench. |
| </p> |
| <p>The next topics cover additional workbench extensions and concepts that |
| you will likely encounter once you've implemented your plug-in and have begun to |
| refine its function. In order to understand the next few topics, you should already be familiar |
| with |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="workbench.htm">Plugging into the Workbench</a></li> |
| <li><a href="jface.htm">JFace UI framework</a></li> |
| <li><a href="swt.htm">SWT</a></li> |
| <li><a href="resInt.htm">Resources overview</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| Since the contributions plug-in does not contribute to all of these extension |
| points, we will look at example extensions that are implemented by the platform |
| workbench, the platform help system, and Java tooling (JDT). |
| <p>When using any of these workbench features, it is a good idea to |
| keep the rules of engagement for threading in mind. See |
| <a href="swt_threading.htm#workbench_threads">The workbench and threads</a> for more information. |
