Eclipse插件开发之一：Hello World

近日开始对Eclipse着迷，于是从图书馆里借了本Contributing to Eclipse，这本书是Erric Gamma, Kent Beck合著的，大师之作。

今天的收获是制作Eclipse插件的Hello World。

书中的说法稍微麻烦点，我在Eclipse3.1下做了如下实验：

1新建一个 plug-in的项目

2在向导里面选择Hello World项目实际上就可以了，向导都为我们做了。书上说的稍微繁琐一些，在这里真是令我感到意外的简单。

3这个项目已经可以运行了，运行时候要选择Eclipse插件运行配置，选择Eclipse应用程序配置，如图

3在plugin.xml里面，<menu>元素表示添加菜单分组，而Action表示添加菜单项，同时定义相应菜单的类，这个类继承于IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate，执行菜单命令只需要实现run接口就可以了。

4我在plugin.xml里面添加了一个action元素，于是菜单又多了一个按钮。

5添加一个继承自IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate的自定义类，并在plugin.xml里面指定class属性值为那个类，这样就实现了第二个helloword按钮。实现的功能是点击后弹出一个对话框，显示hello world。
