Introducing Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge customization
You can customize the following aspects of your Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge environment:
Menu and toolbar options - You can add commands that run ABL procedures (typically custom tool applications) to a menu or the toolbar in the OpenEdge Editor perspective, or to the context (right-click) menu of the ABL Editor.
Code-generation templates - You can add custom templates, or override those that are installed with Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, to define menu options and the output generated when those options are used.
Startup routines - You can define ABL procedures that run automatically when Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge starts.
Event subscription - Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge publishes events when various operations, such as opening or saving a file, occur. You can write ABL procedures that subscribe to and respond to these events.
Custom project types - You can create project types with customized folder layouts and PROPATH settings.
Note: OpenEdge stores the customized menus, toolbars, templates, and project types in the com.openedge.pdt.extensibility.user Eclipse plugin. You can specify a different plugin for this purpose, if necessary, on the Customization preferences page.
Menu and toolbar options - You can add commands that run ABL procedures (typically custom tool applications) to a menu or the toolbar in the OpenEdge Editor perspective, or to the context (right-click) menu of the ABL Editor.
