<p>This page describes how to create a new bundle for SMILA.The description on how to add a test bundle to test the components of the new bundle can be found in <a href="Create_a_test_bundle_(plug-in).html" class="mw-redirect" title="SMILA/Development Guidelines/Create a test bundle (plug-in)">How to create a test bundle (plug-in)</a>.
</p>
<a name="Create_the_bundle"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> Create the bundle </span></h2>
<p>The following steps must be performed to create the project base:
</p>
<ol><li>Launch Eclipse and select your SMILA workspace.
</li><li>Select&nbsp;<i>File &gt; New &gt; Project</i> and click <i>Plug-in Project</i>.
</li><li>Click <i>Next</i>. <br />Now you have to fill in various metadata and settings for your plug-in project. You may as well edit some of the settings later on by opening the <tt>MANIFEST.MF</tt> with the <i>Plug-in Manifest</i> editor.
</li><li>Enter a project name (you should use a fully qualified name, for this example we will use <tt>org.eclipse.smila.integration.bundle</tt>).
</li><li>Add <tt>code</tt> as a parent to the source and output folder:
<ul><li>Set <i>Source folder</i> to <tt>code/src</tt>.
</li><li>Set <i>Output folder</i> to <tt>code/bin</tt>.
</li></ul>
</li><li>Set <i>Target Platform</i> to <tt>an OSGi framework: Equinox</tt>.
</li><li>Click <i>Next</i>.
</li><li>Fill in the metadata information of the new bundle. Set the plug-in's name as ID, your bundle's version, a reasonable bundle name and the information about the provider (i.e. you). For our example we select:
<ul><li>ID: <tt>org.eclipse.smila.integration.bundle</tt>
</li><li>Version: <tt>1.0.0</tt>
</li><li>Name: <tt>Example Bundle Plugin</tt>
</li><li>Provider: <tt>Example company</tt>
</li><li>Exection Environment: <tt>JavaSE-1.6</tt>
</li></ul>
</li><li>Unless you need an activator, uncheck this option.
</li><li>Click <i>Next</i>.
</li><li>Unless you want to use any of the given templates to create your plugin, uncheck the option.
</li><li>Click <i>Finish</i>.
</li></ol>
<a name="Check_the_result"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> Check the result </span></h2>
<p>When you're done with the above, your actions should have resulted in a new project with (in our example) the name of <tt>org.eclipse.smila.integration.bundle</tt>, that now shows up in your workspace. Just check your <i>Package Explorer</i> for the new bundle. In it, there should be an empty <tt>code/src</tt> package, a <tt>META-INF</tt> folder containing a <tt>MANIFEST.MF</tt> file and a <tt>build.properties</tt> file. Open the <tt>MANIFEST.MF</tt> file and clicking through the panels and you will recognize most of the settings, we did above.
</p><p>Now that you've created your bundle, you can add your components as you like but do not forget to <a href="Create_a_test_bundle_(plug-in).html" class="mw-redirect" title="SMILA/Development Guidelines/Create a test bundle (plug-in)">add a test bundle</a>.
</p>
<a name="Integrating_the_new_bundle_in_the_build_process"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> Integrating the new bundle in the build process </span></h2>
<p>To include the just created bundle in the build you should follow the instructions on <a href="How_to_integrate_new_bundle_into_build_process.html" class="mw-redirect" title="SMILA/Development Guidelines/How to integrate new bundle into build process">how to integrate a new bundle into the build process</a>.
