Re: UI Development
I also added an entry in messages.properties as it appears that is being used for localization. I am still not seeing the additional field in my interface. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what could be happening?

RE: UI Development
There is not a use case, but from the UI Plugin design description, looks like it is aimed at extending the CS UI after it is in production. I was thinking that there might be a requirement for having some Server side code running in CS to support this UI Plugin. The current CS Plugins are built in and if you wanted to add supporting UI I think you would develop that native rather than using a UI Plugin architecture. -Soheil From: Alex Huang [alex.hu...@citrix.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 9:16 AM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: RE: UI Development Soheil, Yes there is. Look under the plugins folder for all the current plugins. CloudStack plugins allow not only code to be inserted to add functionality but APIs can be added to facilitate new functionalities. I do ask everyone who are developing plugins to consider and discuss end user facing API changes on the list before making them.
