4.1.2 Executing the template plugin creation command
You can execute the template plugin creation command to create template plugins. Template plugins are created in the format of an Eclipse Java project.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Format of the template plugin creation command
The following shows the format of the template plugin creation command:
Navigation-Platform-for-Developers-installation-directory\pluginSDK\bin\npcreateplg.batΔpath-to-the-plugin-information-property-file
When you execute the template plugin creation command, a directory is created under Navigation-Platform-for-Developers-installation-directory\pluginSDK\plugin according to the contents of the plugin information property file.
To create multiple plugins, repeat the process of editing the plugin information property file and create a template plugin for the number of plugins.
(2) Execution results of the template plugin creation command (for I/O Plugins)
The following shows the directory structure for I/O Plugins. You need to edit only the underlined files. Bold text indicates the values specified in the plugin information property file. For details about how to edit the plugin information property file, see 4.1.1 Editing the plugin information property file.
Navigation-Platform-for-Developers-installation-directory\pluginSDK\plugin |- plugin-ID |-.project |-.classpath |-build.xml |-plugin.properties |-ucnpsdkversion.properties |--js |--dd | |--META-INF | |-application.xml | |-cosminexus.xml |--images | |-sample_icon.gif |--WEB-INF | |-plugin.xml | |-web.xml |--lib |--conf | |-ioaction.xml | |-ucnp_label_plugin-ID.properties | |-ucnp_message_plugin-ID.properties | |-ucnp_plugin-ID.properties | |--src |--Java-package-name |--controller |-I/O-action-controller-lass-name.java |-PluginInitializer.java

-
If multiple commands are executed at the same time, operation is unpredictable.
-
If a directory having the same name as the plugin ID specified in the plugin information property file exists under Navigation-Platform-for-Developers-installation-directory\pluginSDK\plugin, an overwrite confirmation message appears. Specify as follows in response to the confirmation message.
-
To overwrite the existing directory:
Specify Y or y.
-
Not to overwrite the existing directory:
Specify N or n. Processing is canceled.
