The PDE provides a cheatsheet for creating Eclipse plug-ins (OSGi bundles), as shown in Figure 8.1.
Following the steps in the cheat sheet, you create a Hello world plug-in, as shown in Figure 8.2.
Figure 8.3 shows the Hello World plug-in in the Overview page.
Eclipse automatically creates a bundle activator for the Hello World plug-in, as shown in Figure 8.4.
This application demonstrates how you can create GUI artifacts in a bundle activator.
Eclipse automatically creates the manifest file for the Hello World plug-in, as shown in Figure 8.5.
The Manifest editor provides alternative views so you can:
Manage bundle and package dependencies for compilation and runtime
Add your own manifest headers
You can follow the steps in the cheat sheet to launch a target Eclipse platform to run and test the Hello World application, as shown in Figure 8.6.
