Templates

PDE provides templates ranging in complexity and function for the platform's more popular extension points. Each template results in the generation of a fully-functional plug-in.

The list of templates that you see on this wizard page varies depending on the choices you made on the Plug-in Structure and Plug-in Content wizard pages:

Java vs. simple project
UI vs. headless
Rich client application vs. regular plug-in

Plug-in Templates

Templates are customizable. For instance, the Plug-in with an editor template allows you to customize the XML editor name, class name, etc.
