Eclipse Plugin Creator

riang

First we need create a java project, then add plug-in class we need to create. The  link would help you.

Please use the latest documentation for creating appian plugins which utilizes jar files located in the lib folder rather than using the ftp site for deploying the libraries.

Hi aswin, this is for cloud environment. I have no access on the lib folder.

@riang Please follow the below steps in order to create a new  'Appian Expression Function'

1. Install the plugin into Eclipse from OfficialLink or Alternate URL (In case Official Link is dead/not working) 

2. After installation > Restart Eclipse 

3. Click on File > New > Other > Appian plug-in Project > Next > fill in the details > Finish

4. Once the Project Structure got created, in order to create an Appian Expression Function, you need to right click on Project Name instead of src/main/java (because this will cause an error shows with in a pop-up in Eclipse)  > New > Other > Appian Expression Function > Enter the required details and click on Finish

 

Note: Usually when we select src/main/java and try creating Appian Expression function, will cause an error pop-up and we won't be getting proper response in Eclipse.

Also, you don't need to worry about the plugin version in Eclipse. 

 

Hope this will help you.

hi rian,
you don't need access to cloud environment to get the contents inside the lib folder....if you can download either the windows or linux installer for the version of the appian that you have in cloud....you can get to the lib folder from there and then copy the jar files mentioned in forum to the eclipse libraries....
