Build 0531 Create a new plugin project using wizard. Select Plugin with a view template. Accept all defaults. Finish Instructions to run are incorrect (***see attached bitmap). The instructions reference a Debug menu which does not exist, and if you click the run link, you are left in a dialog that has a grayed out Run button so it is not possible to run the plugin (unless of course you know the secret - that you have to make a new configuration - but this is too obscure for a beginning user). I suggest something like the following: Change the instructions to tell people they can run or debug the plugin by using Run->Run As->Runtime Workbench or Run->Debug As->Runtime Workbench respectively. This allows them to easily run it while bypassing the confusing Run... dialog which is a more advanced feature. Either remove the run link altogether, or explain that if they click on this they will be able to set advanced parameters.

I just noticed that there is text further down that also mentions the Debug menu, which does not exist. This also needs to be fixed.
The code I am releasing today uses the same run shortcut used in 'Run As->Run- time Workbench', providing a one-click run or debug. I will modify text to reflect changes in the menu.
Done. The text has been updated to point to the existing menus and the hyperlinks directly start the workbench (no launch config dialog).
