  1. Click File > New > Project...

  3. Follow the pages in the wizard and parametrize your new plug-in until you reach the Templates page.
  4. Select the Create a plug-in using one of the templates check box
  5. From the list of available templates, click Plug-in with a sub-element counter
  6. Click Next
