| The traditional Hello World program doesn't do that much, but it |
| can be invaluable when exploring a new development environment. |
| In this article we'll develop the Eclipse Hello World plug-in |
| and show you how to integrate it with the Eclipse Workbench. |
| After you read this article you should know how to use the |
| Eclipse Java Development Tooling to create, run, and debug a |
| simple plug-in that extends the Eclipse Platform. You'll see how |
| to setup a project for your plug-in, edit the Java code, |
| compile, and run or debug your plug-in in another launched copy |
| of Eclipse. We'll be looking at plug-in manifest files, |
| extensions, and extension points to see how plug-ins are |
| described to Eclipse and how they are integrated with the |
| Platform. |
