Converting an existing stand alone app to a plug-in? Might be useful.

Even though it was submitted a few days late, I'm hoping to get a session on WDSC Plug-in development approved for the Reno conference.

It's just going to be a basic introduction ... but with a practical example (using my object description decorator plug-in).

Assuming it does get accepted, I'll probably be looking for some peer review of the outline and some of the content.

I'll post updates here as they happen.

At a high level, I'll be covering the following:

. What is a plug-in
. Structure of a plug-in (feature, plug-ins, update site)
. Anatomy of a feature
. Anatomy of a plug-in
. What are extension points
. Write the plug-in
. Debug the plug-in
. Deploy the plug-in
. Update sites
. Other useful bits of information (SWT, Eclipse.org, etc)
. Useful resources (this list, eclipse.org lists, blogs & websites)

Can anyone thing of stuff I've missed?
