  * For the project add a reference to `HeuristicLab.PluginInfrastructure.dll` in StableRoot\bin
  * Open the properties of the reference and set "Copy Local" to false

+Later on in your developments you will have to add additional plugins as references, but the procedure is always the same.

 '''Important''': The plugin class needs to derive from HeuristicLab.PluginInfrastructure.PluginBase so that the dll is realized as a plugin. The attributes specify the details of the plugin and which files it provides. The filename given in PluginFile has to be the same as the assembly output filename in the "Application" tab of the project's properties.
 
-'''Important''': Version numbers for plugins can be specified in the style major.minor.build.revision. Changing major or minor version numbers in the course of development marks a breaking change to files. If HeuristicLab's persistence comes across an item saved with a plugin version of 3.3.8 it will accept a new plugin of 3.3.9 to open it, but not when the new plugin version is 3.4.0 or 4.0. For this reason HeuristicLab plugin assemblies are always marked with major and minor number at the end, e.g. HeuristicLab.Core-3.3.dll. This allows to have the same assembly in two conflicting versions.
+'''Important''': Version numbers for plugins can be specified in the style major.minor.build.revision. In the official HeuristicLab repository the revision part is synchronized with the SVN revision number, it can be simply set to 0 in our case. Changing major or minor version numbers in the course of development marks a breaking change to previously saved files. If HeuristicLab's persistence comes across an item of a plugin with version 3.3.8 it will accept the same plugin in version 3.3.9 to open it. However, it will reject the plugin when its major.minor is different (e.g. 3.2.7, 3.4.3 or 4.0.1). For this reason HeuristicLab plugin assemblies are always marked with major and minor numbers at the end, e.g. HeuristicLab.Core-3.3.dll. This allows to have the same assembly in two conflicting versions.

+ * Build the project and press <Ctrl+F5> to start it without a debugger attached
+ * You will see the starter window again, but you already know the switches to hide it
+ * Inside the starter open the "Plugin Manager" and see that it is correctly loaded
+
+Now we have created an empty plugin that we can use to implement our great idea. Please refer to the [[Documentation]] pages and the various HowTos on how to write views, operators, algorithms, etc.
