1.- Two fairly recent & decent articles with step-by-step instructions for creating plug-ins that extend LPEX:

"Creating user profiles for the LPEX editor":
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0607_casey/0607_casey.html
"Extending the LPEX Editor in WDz"
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0605_casey/0605_casey.html

A plug-in with LPEX extensions must define the "preload" extension point, for which a class that implements com.ibm.lpex.alef.LpexPreload is provided. Otherwise, the LPEX plug-in won't be able to load any actions / commands / etc. from this plug-in.

2.- For LPEX's own samples, enter:
?samples
on the command line of any LPEX view.

If any of them doesn't work, please let me know.

I would like to see an end to end example of developing a LPEX plug-in. I experimented with writing some myself and didn't get far.

The plug-in is not proprietary and is sort of general would you consider publishing the plugin and the steps you used to develop it?


The example in the online help isn't _bad_ ... although I don't know for
sure if it works anymore.

I used that when I started.
