Creating the Dependency.properties File

Procedure

  1. Create a file named dependency.properties, containing the following line: Sample_plugin_extension_gridlib [1.0.0, 2.0.0)

    The name, shown above as Sample_plugin_extension_gridlib, is the grid-library-name element of the extension Grid Library.

  2. Use square brackets [ ] to indicate a version is inclusive, or parenthesis ( ) to indicate that it is exclusive. The above statement means this distribution depends on Sample_plugin_extension_gridlib between version 1.0.0 (inclusive) and 2.0.0 (exclusive).
    Note: The dependency.properties file is not needed if there is no extension Grid Library for the plugin distribution.
