Plug In Development (migrating REXX Macros used in CODE400)

Hello:

David pointed me in the right direction when he said "Plug Ins are used to
extend the editor".

Searched the help documents for "Extending" and came up with a page that
said Extending Remote System Explorer. It said to see the link for "RSE
Developer Guide" to learn more. Clicked it and got "Topic not Found",
bummer.

Did some more searching via help contents, I came up with Reference >
Extending the Remote System Explorer > RSE Developer Guide > Tutorials which
documents:

This section walks through the tutorials that demonstrate how to use the RSE
extension points to extend the RSE:

Popup menu actions for remote resources should now be contributed via the
standard Eclipse extension point, org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus. An example of
this usage is provided in the org.eclipse.rse.examples.tutorial plug-in.
Property pages should for remote resources now be contributed via the
standard Eclipse extension point, org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages. An example
of this usage is provided in the org.eclipse.rse.examples.tutorial plug-in.
Creating a subsystem configuration for working with remote resources, using
the org.eclipse.rse.core.subsystemConfigurations extension point.
The source code for all tutorials is available in the RSE-examples package,
which can be obtained from the DSDP Target Management download site or
directly from the RSE Update Site. In fact, the simplest way to get the
examples is to choose Help > Software Updates > Find and Install from the
Workbench, get the Examples installed, and then choose File > Import... >
Plug-in development > Plug-ins and Fragments. Choose the
org.eclipse.rse.examples.tutorial plug-in and import it with source folders.

In addition to providing the ready-made code, the tutorial also shows you
how to actally create the Eclipse plug-in project (Please bear with us if
the instructions do not 100% match the latest code due to recent
refactorings). The tutorial starts out by showing you how to create an
Eclipse plug-in project, using the Plug-in Development Environment. While
any Eclipse plug-in project will do, there are benefits to using the
RSE-supplied base class for your project, and other RSE-supplied
infrastructure such as messages, and the many other user interface base
classes and re-usable user interface classes supplied by the RSE core
plug-in project. The tutorial step for creating a plug-in project sets up
your project for using these.

I'll have to give it a shot.....

Anyone have success trying to do this?
