Use this option when at least one plugin project exists in the workspace.

Associated questions and their meanings -

• Select plugin to add new metadata view

  Specify the plugin project where to add boilerplate code for the new metadata view.

• Enter name for the view

  A unique name for the new metadata view.

  This will be the option name shown in the dropdown by default.

Associated generated boilerplate files and their use -

• The generated files would be present under <Plugins Directory>\<Selected Plugin>\src\main\smartview\src\widgets\metadata\panels\<View Name>

• impl folder

  This folder contains the handlebar template file and the style sheet file used by the view.

  It also contains the nls folder which contains the lang files used for the translation strings.

• metadata.<View Name>.view.js
