Creating Panel using Extension Builder 3.0

Hi,

This is my first try to create a panel.

I decided to start with eclipse and download Extension Builder 3.0.

I went on and create a basic test as show here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzdRfhT6R68&t=34s

It did not work at first so i had to do 2 things:

1. i copied the test extension to c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\

eclipse created them under: c:\Users\danl\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions\

and that did not work

2. after comparing some files to existing extensions, I modified manifest.xml manually under CEP/extensions/com.example.test/csxs/manifest.xml

<Host Name="PHSP" Version="[14.0,14.9]" />

<Host Name="PHXS" Version="[14.0,14.9]" />

to

<Host Name="PHSP" Version="[14.0,99.9]" />

<Host Name="PHXS" Version="[14.0,99.9]" />

that did the trick and my very first panel was working (I also had to add a key in my registry to prevent unsigned extensions alert.

https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Getting-Started-guides/blob/master/Client-side%20Debugging/readme.md#se...

The (1st problem i have so far) is that i can't really debug this since every time I try to (using eclipse) it rewrites the xml file and PS cannot load the extension.

Ans also PS does not detect the extension under:

c:\Users\danl\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions\

Can i somehow modify the way  way the xml file is created so that it will fit new version of PS?

If another tool is better suited for this then please let me know which?

Dan

Hi Dan!

You don't need to use Eclipse. You ought to be able to debug

Which version of Photoshop are you using, exactly? You might try just the following, and see if it works:

<Host Name="PHXS" Version="16.0"/>

  <Host Name="PHSP" Version="16.0"/>

I think most people use Chrome Dev Tools and an IDE to debug...

Check this CEP Cookbook chart for the latest compatibility and other technical information.
