What is a VP plugin and why would we use one?īefore we begin let’s start with some theory. You can view it online or download a copy, which I strongly suggest to do.

If you’re following my lead then having Apache Ant at your disposal can help to make certain build tasks easier to automate.But to make this as basic as possible (and to rule out any bias) I’m not going to use one myself just yet. Using a Java IDE will definitely help.

And of course an editor to write your code will also come in handy.Having a Java JDK installed, at the time of writing the use of JDK 1.8 is suggested over 1.9 but the latter works good with v15.0 and up.A basic understanding of the Java programming language.A copy of Visual Paradigm desktop, this is to get the actual openapi jarfile.But of course some requirements need to be met… And trust me: it doesn’t even have to be all that difficult.

But there’s one in particular which really manages to excite me and that is the ability to write your own plugins. Visual Paradigm, the design and management tool we all know and love, provides many different features.
