Description Curtis Windatt

Creating an Eclipse Plug-in Cheatsheet
Create a Plug-in Task
Test the plug-in Section
First step: Select the "Overview" tab

The parameterId being passed to the method is "filePath"
Result is "/com.example.helloworld/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
However, I had named the project something else.

eclipse.buildId=I20100513-0800
java.version=1.6.0_18
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_CA

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
