### Creating a HelloWorld plug-in

To work through this example, we need to create a simple 'Hello World' Eclipse plug-in. Creating Eclipse plug-ins is covered in more detail elsewhere in this documentation, so we will just create a simple HelloWorld plug-in as follows:

1. Create a new plug-in project by menuing to File > New > Other...

2. Select Plug-in Development in the left pane, and Plug-in Project in the right and click Next.
3. Enter a name for your project, then click Next.
4. On the next page, accept all defaults and click Next.
5. Make sure Create a plug-in project using one of the templates is selected, then select Hello, World from the list below and click Next.
6. Accept all the defaults on this page and click Finish.

Now that we have a plug-in project, we can create a build.xml file for it to manage plug-in deployment.
