Viewing BDS-generated BDS Plug-in Hidden Projects

When a DAA (Distributed Application Archive) is created for a project containing a Business Object Model, or the project is deployed, the BDS Generator generates a BDS Plug-in that corresponds to the BOM.

These BDS Plug-ins can be seen in the Project Explorer, but are hidden by default.

To view the BDS Plug-ins that have been generated, change the view so that it does not hide folder and file names that begin with ".". This can be done by clicking the View Menu in the Project Explorer:

Select Customize View …. In the Available Customizations dialog, uncheck .*resources.

For each BOM, a pair of projects are created:

Looking at these can be useful to understand how things are working.
