Creating an external plugin is a bit of a hassle, since a developer needs to
create a lot of boilerplate code in the manifest and copy a bunch of AIDL
files. It would be of great use to have an Eclipse wizard that does it all:
* Creates a new Android Analyzer External Plugin project (based on Android
Application project)
* Set plugin metadata, namespace, etc.
* Generate a new plugin class that extends AbstractPlugin, based on the
metadata, namespace, etc.
* Copies the AIDL from the main Android Analyzer project as well as the
discovery intent receiver (or downloads the related files directly from the
SVN, in order to have an up-to-date version)
* Populates the Android manifest
Other ideas for this plugin, as well as volunteers to take on it are very much
welcome!
