| Extending Oxygen XML Developer Using the SDK | |
A plugin is a software component which adds extra functionality to the standalone version of the application using a series of application-provided extension points.
This chapter explains how to write and install a plugin for the standalone version of Oxygen XML Developer. The Plugins Development Kit contains sample plugins (source and compiled Java code) and the Javadoc API necessary for developing custom plugins.
If you want to customize the Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse Plugin you can look at the Eclipse IDE Integration Sample Project to see how an Eclipse plugin can interact with the Oxygen XML Developer APIs.
