Package your user-defined pattern as a pattern archive so that you can distribute it to pattern users.
Before you start:
Before you can complete this task, you must have completed the following tasks:
When you have tested your user-defined pattern and you are
satisfied with its content and quality, package it into a pattern archive so that you can distribute
it to your pattern users.
You
can include additional plug-in projects in your pattern archive. For example, if your user-defined
pattern includes a user-defined editor, you can include the code plug-in
project that contains the code for the editor in your pattern archive. If you want to include a
JAR archive package in your pattern archive, you must first convert
the JAR file to a plug-in. To convert a JAR file to a plug-in, complete
the following steps:
- Click .
- Expand Plug-in Development and select Plug-in from Existing JAR Archives.
- Click Next to start the New Plug-in from Existing JAR Archives wizard. Navigate through the wizard, completing the fields as required. Click Finish.
To package your user-defined pattern into a pattern archive, complete the following tasks:
The pattern plug-ins and features are generated in the workspace.
If the plug-ins already exist in the workspace, you are asked if you
want to overwrite them; if you have already created the .doc plug-in
or your translated files, you might choose not to overwrite the plug-ins.
The pattern is temporarily displayed in the Patterns Explorer view.
A pattern archive with the extension .patternzip is
created in the target location.
Next:
- If you published the pattern archive directly to a pattern community shared file system location, pattern users can now download the pattern archive, see Downloading from a shared file system.
- If you did not publish the pattern archive directly to a pattern community shared file system location, you can upload the pattern archive to a pattern community site to distribute the pattern archive to pattern users, see Uploading a pattern archive.
