Hi Luke,

The LAMS Eclipse Plug-in must follow the LAMS Tool Contract for all the Author, Monitor, Learner,Admin and General Services interfaces.

Since all tools must have the following attributes, probably a set of screens that allow the users to enter the following information as a wizard would be helpful:

1. Tool Vendor details: Required for the export
2. Tool Full name and details: Required for the export, possibly for upgrading scripts.
3. Tool Signature: Required for jar, war and table name uniqueness.
4. Tool Content Compatibility: Required for the export and for upgrading scripts.
5. Tool Licensing: Licensing details for this tool.
6. Tool Version: Code and database version in the format YYYYMMDD.


All cascading style sheets and LAMS tag libraries should be also included in the tool, so developers have them already there ready to go and only have to focus on the logic of the tool they want to create.

Hope this helps.

Ernie
