    9797'''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.

    99 '''Important:''' Changing major or minor version numbers in the course of development marks a breaking change to previously saved files. If HeuristicLab wants to load 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 or minor is different (e.g. 3.2.7, 3.4.3 or 4.0.1). The "Assembly file version" is not used by HeuristicLab and can be set without any restrictions.

     102
     103 * Build the project and press <Ctrl+F5> to start it without a debugger attached
     104 * You will see the starter window again, but you already know the switches to hide it
     105 * Inside the starter open the "Plugin Manager" and see that it is correctly loaded

     109Now we have created an empty plugin that we can use to implement a new great idea. Please refer to the [[Documentation]] pages and the various HowTos on how to write views, operators, algorithms, etc.
