Plug-in Content Wizards

###### Identifier:

org.eclipse.pde.ui.pluginContent

###### Description:

This extension point provides for contributing wizards that create additional content of the PDE plug-in projects. After the plug-in manifest and key files have been created, these wizards can be used to add more files and extensions to the initial structure. A typical implementation of this wizard would add content based on a parametrized template customized based on the user choices in the wizard. The goal is to arrive at a plug-in that is does something useful right after the creation (e.g. contributes a view, an editor etc.).

- name - a translatable name that will be used in UI representation of this wizard.
- icon - a relative path of an icon that will be used to visually represent the wizard.
- class - a fully qualified name of a class which implements `org.eclipse.pde.ui.IPluginContentWizard`.
- category - an optional tag that can be used to associate content wizards with different target projects.
- ui-content - a flag that indicates if the wizard will contribute code with user interface content. This flag will affect which plug-in class will be picked since (UI plug-ins extend `AbstractUIPlugin` class, while non-UI plug-ins extends `Plugin` base class). Since many contributions to Eclipse have UI content, this attribute is `true` by default.
- java - a flag that indicates that the wizard will contribute Java content. Since most of the Eclipse plug-ins have Java code, the attribute is `true` by default. Set it to `false` if the plug-in will not have Java code (for example, documentation files only).
- rcp - Since 3.1. A boolean flag indicating whether the wizard contributes a standalone fully-functioning rich client application. If set to `true`, the wizard will appear in the New Plug-in Project wizard only when the user chooses the Rich Client Application option.

###### API Information:

Wizards that plug into this extension point must implement `org.eclipse.pde.ui.IPluginContentWizard` interface and is expected to extend `org.eclipse.jface.wizard.Wizard`.

###### Supplied Implementation:

PDE provides APIs for contributing content wizards based on customizable templates. A number of concrete wizards based on these templates is contributed by PDE UI itself.
