I am a newbie to eclipse plugin development. I want to implement a plugin that when selected opens a sidebar in the workbench. The sidebar should contain a search text box whose input is captured by the plugin and the output based on that is displayed below the text box.
I shall be grateful to anyone who can provide me with directions on how to get started and set up to implement such a plugin in the eclipse workbench, like what are the extensions I’ll need to implement etc.
Thanks!
