## Exercise 9: Adding Your Plug-in to the Configuration View

The purpose of this exercise is to learn how to include your plug-in in a configuration.

Before your new elements can be seen in the Configuration View, you need to first add your new plug-in to a configuration. We'll add the new plug-in to the Config for RUP configuration and see the results in the Configuration View.

1. Switch to the Browsing perspective and in the Configuration View try to find your new content. For example look for My Design Roleset. You shouldn't see it.

2. Switch to the Authoring perspective and then click Configurations at the bottom of the tree display.

3. Make a copy of the RUP for Small Projects configuration. Right-click on the RUP for Small Projects configuration and select Copy . Then right-click on the Configurations folder and click Paste . Name the new configuration My RUP for Small Projects.

4. Double-click on the My RUP for Small Projects configuration to open the Configuration Editor.

5. Click on the Plug-in and Package Selection tab.

6. Add My Plugin to the configuration by checking the box next to it in the Configuration Components field. If you expand My Plugin you will see that the full contents of the plug-in have been selected. You may see some errors in the Library Error Log view. You can click through these errors or ignore them for now.

7. Close the editor and save the changes.

8. Change the current configuration to My RUP for Small Projects in the configuration selection box in the EPF Composer toolbar, just below the main menu bar.

9. Switch to the Browsing perspective and now look for your content in the Configuration View. You should now see My Design Roleset . You should also see your new Work Products in the Uncategorized folder under Domains.
