Exporting Features

Before packaging a plug-in, you have to export the design, runtime, and model features one by one.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have created a plug-in as described in Creating a Plug-in.

Procedure

  1. In TIBCO Business Studio with the running platform selected, click File > Export from the menu.
  2. In the Select dialog, click the Plug-in Development folder and select Deployable features. Click Next.
  3. In the "Deployable features" dialog, select the design-time feature in the Available Features area.

  4. In the Destination tab, click Browse next to the Directory field and locate the folder where the design-time feature is exported. Click Finish.
    An artifacts.jar file, a content.jar file, a features folder, and a plugins folder are exported to the specified location.
  5. Repeat Step 1 to Step 4 to export the model and runtime features one by one.
    Note: Ensure that you have exported the design, model, and runtime features of the plug-in to three different folders one by one.

    Ensure that the target platform is bw-runtime when exporting the runtime feature. See Target Platform for more details.
