Common project files for custom plugins
DigiCert provides example projects for each plugin type as Java projects based on the Maven build system. All examples include the following common project files. Make sure you understand these project files before building your custom plugin.
Wichtig
All example projects include a README.md file with important details about the project dependencies, file hierarchy, build process, and more. Review this information carefully before developing your custom plugin.
Project files
The following project files define common settings, dependencies, and actions for developing custom plugins. These files are found in the top-level project directory for each plugin type in the example repository.
