Plug-In's

WDSC supports a similar plug-in mechanism to Eclipse, with some modifications to support the RSE.

A number of vendors have plug-in's for their specific product, and there are some open-source plug-in's available.

In general, most plug-in's designed for Eclipse 3.0 will work fine in WDSC.
