Technical Services & Documentation

COR•REC Sandbox

The COR•REC Platform technical service documentation is divided into three topics.

COR•REC Sandbox Workspace

The Sandbox provides a simulated environment of the COR•REC application, featuring a fully functional generic plugin. This plugin serves as a template or reference for developing your own. Developers familiar with Eclipse RCP/IDE can begin by downloading the COR•REC sandbox workspace.

Walkthrough

The Walkthrough offers a step-by-step guide to developing a COR•REC Module plugin. This tutorial walks you through creating a com.corgroup.correc.module, which mirrors the COR•REC plugin found in the Sandbox (correc.plugin). To get started, download and install the COR•REC Sandbox, then follow the "Create a COR•REC Module" walkthrough within the Eclipse RCP/IDE.

COR•REC Platform Services

COR•REC Services empower plugin developers to integrate seamlessly with existing plugins, letting you tailor COR•REC to your specific needs. Key services — such as those within COR•REC Accounting and COR•REC Inventory — can enhance the functionality of your plugin, making it more valuable and extending the platform's capabilities. COR•REC Services act as the connective layer, enabling collaboration between plugins. By incorporating services into your plugin, you increase its utility and value. Developers are encouraged to request additional services from CORGROUP, further expanding the platform's capabilities.

New to Eclipse RCP?

If you're new to Eclipse, a great starting point is to download the Eclipse IDE RCP application. Many excellent tutorials are available online to help you get started. Note there are two main versions of Eclipse RCP: RCP 3 and RCP 4. COR•REC is built on RCP 3, but RCP 4 can also be used to create plug-ins.
