 Running

+Once the plugin is installed, new options will appear in a number of places in Eclipse.

+You can create a new plugin project using `File -> New -> Other` dialog:
+`Thermostat Plugin Project`. This will create an appropriate set of projects
+with dependencies all set up. It will include a simple `thermostat-plugin.xml`
+file. The project can be exported as a plugin using the export wizard into a
+Thermostat installation.

 Once the plugin is installed, a new option will appear in the `File -> New ->
 Other` dialog: Thermostat Plugin Descriptor. This will create a new
 `thermostat-plugin.xml` and bring up the GUI editor for it.
