Creating Eclipse Plugins from Existing Java Frameworks

Today We'll look at how to create Eclipse plugins from existing java frameworks. Creating plugins from existing frameworks is the first step to integrating them in your own Eclipse plugins and RCP clients. In this article we'll look at creating eclipse plugin for the popular library LibGDX (http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/)

 Step 1: Download the latest LibGDX from http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/download.html

Step 2: In Eclipse, create a new plugin project

Step 3: Next, you'll have to provide links to the JAR archives of LibGDX

Step 4: In the next step, fill in some parameters like plugin name and version number

 After having gone through all the steps, you should be able to see the LibGDX eclipse plugin in your package explorer.
