Plug-in Development perspective

This perspective helps you develop user-defined plug-in nodes in the workbench. A user-defined plug-in node is an Eclipse plug-in that adds a category of nodes to the Message Flow editor palette.

The New Plug-in Project wizard creates the supporting workbench files for your user-defined plug-in node. The New Message Flow Plug-in Node wizard creates a message node file (.msgnode) and launches the Message Node editor for developing the visual representation of your user-defined plug-in node in the workbench.
