• Implementation 
  • Java (See Plugin SDK API documentation) or
  • Docker image  
• Metadata describing its operations, properties, and other behavior
• Setup scripts (optional) to initialize the environment prior to execution
• Required 5.1.0 FlexDeploy libraries for Java implementation (download here)

See detailed instructions below.

Development Approach

• Decide on implementation type - Java or Docker, depending on your expertise.
• Define plugin.xml and properties.xml files. This should help you describe operations that will be developed and project or environment/instance level properties used by each operation. You can also define plugin operation inputs as appropriate. At times, you can just use inputs without properties if it makes sense.
• Developer plugin implementation.
• Unit test plugin opeations.
• Package and verify on FlexDeploy server.

To do that, cd to the folder that contains the files, and execute the following command: jar cvfM0 pluginname<PluginName>-<pluginversion><PluginVersion>.jar *

This will make "plugin<PluginName>-<PluginVersion>.jar" which will contain the files and folders around it.
