1. Welcome
Welcome to the home page of the Pliny website for Pliny software developers. Here you will find information useful to Java programmers who wish to develop Pliny or Pliny-aware applications. Note: You do not need to read this if you plan to be only a Pliny user. The audience for this material is people like Java Programmers. If you are not one, stop reading this now!
This developer part of the Pliny web-site includes:
- A Little Reading: points you to some materials that describe elements of the Eclipse plugin-in development environment that is important within Pliny. We assume here that you are already familiar with Java programming and the use of Eclipse as a Java IDE, but have not developed an Eclipse plugin before.
- Introduction to the Plugins: provides a brief introduction to the Pliny plugins.
- The uk.ac.kcl.cch.jb.pliny Plugin provides an overview of the materials in this Plugin, which, in turn, is the base plugin upon which Pliny is built.
- The Pliny Data Model provides an overview of the underlying data model that drives Pliny
- Annotation/Reference area classes provides an overview of most of the major underlying classes that implement Pliny's Annotation/Reference area.
- NoteEditor classes provides an overview of important classes that support the operation of the Pliny Note Editor.
- Resource Explorer classes and data model describes the classes that implement the Resource Explorer, and explains the data model it uses.
- Extension Point resourceExtensionProcessor describes the Eclipse extension point defined within Pliny to support integration between Pliny base and Pliny-aware plugins.
The JavaDoc API documentation for all the Pliny classes can be found here.
