Description James Baxter CLA 2021-12-02 11:12:46 EST
The screenshot in https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Ffirstplugin_create.htm&cp%3D2_0_2_1 looks old (Win XP). The tutorial text is incorrect.

The box "Add the view to the java persepective" is correct in the screenshot. The tutorial text is "Add the view to the resource perspective".

Step 6 no longer applies.
Comment 2 James Baxter CLA 2021-12-02 11:19:16 EST
In Running the plug-in [1] -> Launching the workbench:
  main menu entry is now lacking the three dots and you have to press "OK" instead of "New".

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
