You can use the Plug-in Development perspective to create user-defined node projects and user-defined nodes in the IBM® Integration Toolkit, however, the preferred option is to use the Integration Development perspective.
A user-defined node is an Eclipse plug-in that adds a category of nodes to the Message Flow editor palette. To use the Integration Development perspective to create user-defined node projects and user-defined nodes in the IBM Integration Toolkit, see Integration Development perspective.
The New User-defined Node Project wizard creates the supporting IBM Integration Toolkit files for your user-defined node.
