To register a customized palette object to the Processor
Editor, technical developers must add an extension point for
the customized palette object in the plugin.xml file
of the extension plugin.
Procedure
To register a customized palette object, do the following
steps:
- Open the plugin.xml file, and then
click the Extensions tab.
- Click the Extensions tab, and then
click Add. The New Extension window
opens.
- In the Extension Point Filter field
of the New Extension window, enter com.ibm.btt,
and then select com.ibm.btt.tools.transaction.dominate.palette.
Click Finish.
- In the All Extensions panel, right-click com.ibm.btt.tools.transaction.dominate.palette,
and then click or depending on whether you want to register a state object
or a transition object.
- In the Extension Element Details panel,
enter detailed information for the state of transition object.
- In the Name field, enter a name
for the object. Because the name of the object is the ID of the object,
the name that you enter must be unique to the object that you are
registering.
- In the Label field, enter the
name that is displayed on the object when it is displayed in the Palette view.
The label of an object supports NLS.
- In the smallIcon field, select
the image that the object is displayed as when it is in the Palette view
of the Processor editor. It is recommended that you select
16x16 pixel images for consistency with existing WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation
Toolkit objects.
- In the largeIcon field, select
the image that the object is displayed as when it is in the editing
area of the Processor editor. It is recommended that you
select 32x32 pixel images for consistency with existing WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation
Toolkit objects.
- In the config field, select the
configuration .xml file for the object.
