The mandatory header element identifies the plug-in and contains three child elements:
Table 1. Contents of the header element
<header> Child Elements Description
<identifier> This element's three attributes identify the plug-in:
  • version

    API version (the version number for upgrading plug-ins is defined in the info.xml file).

  • id

    Identifies the plug-in.

  • name

    The plug-in name is shown on the Automation Plugins pane, and on the UrbanCode.com plug-in page.

All values must be enclosed within single quotation marks.
<description> Describes the plug-in; is shown on the Automation Plugins pane, and on the UrbanCode.com plug-in page.
<tag> Defines where the plug-in is listed within the IBM® UrbanCode Deploy editor's hierarchy of available plug-ins. The location is defined by a string that is separated by slashes. For example, the Tomcat definition is: Application Server/Java/Tomcat. The Tomcat steps are listed beneath the Tomcat item, which in turn is nested within the other two.

The following is a sample header definition:

<header>
  <identifier version="3" id="com.&company;.air.plugin.Tomcat" name="Tomcat"/>
  <description>
  The Tomcat plugin is used during deployments to run Tomcat run-book 
  automations and deploy or undeploy Tomcat applications.
  </description>
  <tag>Application Server/Java/Tomcat</tag>
</header>
