Build Your Own Customized ICN Eclipse Plug-in for IBM Content Navigator development

Hi there, a lot of times when you want to use the icn plugin jars to allow for icn plugin development Wizard appearing in eclipse New Project Wizard , you don't get the wizard working fine for each eclipse package as  the old jars ibm provided worked for certain eclipse packages only

IBM ICN Dev team has put a new project that you can use to get a customized jars for your own eclipse package then you can drop these new plugins in the dropins folder to get the icn plugin new project wizard when you create a new project

you can find the project and the details to how to customize it here in this ibm team repository along with instructions

https://github.com/ibm-ecm/ibm-content-navigator-samples/tree/master/eclipsePlugin

one small hint that could be useful:

during update bundle-version number for your Eclipse in MANIFEST.MF , you can't get the exact version by yourself so to get it automatically just press the old version written in the manifest file and press CTRL + SPACE that will get you the exact version for your eclipse

That's it

Enjoy :)
