## Additional Examples

### IDE Extensions

Several APP4MC examples are already included in the APP4MC product.
They can be installed with the “New Examples Wizard” (New > Example...).

There are additional examples for developers who want to extend the APP4MC platform.

The new example projects will be created as Plugin Projects in the current workspace. They can be modified and then tested in a separate runtime IDE.

- IDE Actions example
  - creates several new actions in the model editor:
    - Add approval (for all elements that allow custom attributes)
    - Convert to histogram (for Weibull-Distributions)
    - Create C Type Definitions (in the software model)

- IDE Validations example
  - provides additional validations that can be checked on demand

- IDE Visualizations example
  - provides a demo visualization for elements that have a name attribute

#### Steps to install and test

1. Install additional examples via update site

    https://download.eclipse.org/app4mc/updatesites/releases/3.0.0
    https://download.eclipse.org/app4mc/updatesites/snapshot

2. Create example project(s)

3. Switch to Java perspective

4. Run a new Eclipse Application

Create a new Run Configuration to start another Eclipse instance ...

You can enter a name and start with the default settings...

The new Eclipse runtime will contain all plugins of the current runtime and additional plugins based on the plugin projects in your workspace.

Therefore the created example projects extend the runtime IDE and the new features can immediately be tested.
