    You must use a local developer instance to develop a plug-in. The local installation contains the necessary java libraries and also allows you to test your plug-in locally before you deploy it. Once you create and test your plug-in locally, you can submit your plug-in for cloud approval before the cloud team will deploy it to your site. See the Cloud FAQs for more information.
