I'm pretty sure there is a modular system in place for the backend, though I only do front-end development so I'm not familiar with it. Maybe a server-side dev can answer that?

I have looked at the UI-Plugin page, is there a matching server side plugin component to go along with the UI-Plugin to extend the CloudStack functionality? -Soheil ________________________________________ From: Brian Federle [brian.fede...@citrix.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 11:44 AM To: 'dev@cloudstack.apache.org' Subject: RE: UI Development Hi Soheil, For the most part pretty much any IDE/text editor will work for UI development, as the code base is pure JS+HTML+CSS. I usually use Firebug for debugging purposes. For IDEs, I would recommend IntelliJ IDEA, which has the best support for JS, including an integrated JS debugger. Not too familiar with Eclipse for web dev, though. Unfortunately UI documentation is a bit sparse right now; I'm in the process of adding more documentation when I can find time. For now, I would recommend going through the UI plugin development tutorial and see if it will address your needs for the feature: https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/ui-plugin-tutorial.html. It goes through setting up a new list view with a set of actions. -Brian -----Original Message----- From: Soheil Eizadi [mailto:seiz...@infoblox.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 11:35 AM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: UI Development I did not find any UI development resources on the Wiki. I need to update the UI to support a new Device. I wanted to know if there is there any recommended tooling for the CloudStack UI. I was planning to use Eclipse JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT), but wanted to see if there is any recommended setup also what the recommended debugging environment would look like? Thanks, -Soheil
