Plugin does not appear in Servoy Editor

Classic Servoy
1

Hello All

I was trying to do the plugin example in the "How to " document … but it does not appear in the plugins list in Servoy Editor … could anyone tell me what i might be missing (i’m using Eclipse SDK 3.0 win32 & Servoy 3.0b3)

Regards

Hi,

No, not possible. You clearly forgot something otherwise it would work. What it is you missed is impossible to tell without additional information or sharing your project.

This is like asking somebody why you are somewhere else instead of where you wanted to be, only informing him or her that you are travelling with a Ford.

Well i’m attaching herein both classes and a snap of the Eclipse screen to illustrate classes hierarchy.

I took a very quick peek but you even return a null value at the getName() method. So… As a result the plugin does not appear in the plugin tree.

2 tips:

  1. have a look at the mail plugin. valuable info!!!
  2. have a look at the api. might help :)

Hope you will get this going now. Johan wrote the document when I wanted to get started developing a plugin and it helped me, along with the changes I added to it, to really get started. When you follow it to the letter it should really get you going.

HI Maecel …

After few attempts i was able successfuly to make work … because i choose a package name same as Servoy plugin package name (com.servoy.r2.plugins) … using the package name same as the example couldnt make it appearing in the editor.

Thankx for your help

OK, but that was not visible in your code that you attached
