A new solution

We will now create a new SharpDevelop solution and add a class library project which will become the HeuristicLab plugin.

• Use the "Class Library" template
• In this guide we'll use "GreatIdea" as solution name and choose the extension folder as location, the plugin will be named "HeuristicLab.GreatIdea.ThePlugin"
