Most of the pieces that you need to create a plug-in solution are part of the standard N1 Grid Service Provisioning System software. However, you must install a few additional software ingredients to provide you with a complete development solution. These key pieces are contained in the plugin-core.jar file on the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Supplement CD.
Once you place the plugin-core.jar file where you want, be sure to modify the classpath for your Java tools to find the file.
The plugin-core.jar contains three packages that provide file system-based component browse and export classes:
