I do Eclipse RCP plug-ins from time to time. My biggest hurdle is to wrap my head around the extension points (not what they are, but which one to use when). Is there a site where I can find a list like “If you want to action extend the following extension points.
Such a cheat sheet would be really helpful.
The help pages “Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Reference > Extension Points Reference. ” can be a starting point, in that it helps listing all the categories of extension points.
(mentioned in “FAQ How do I find out more about a certain extension point?“)
If you couple that with the plugin spy, you can quickly isolate the right available plugin elements for you to extend.
