Create a Pentaho Server Plug-in

Ensure that you are running the Pentaho Server with the Pentaho Analyzer plug-in installed.

1. Create a location for the new visualization in the Pentaho Server by creating a new folder in the pentaho-solutions/system directory.
2. Within the new folder, create a plugin.xml file that will contain metadata about the plug-in.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
   <plugin title="example-visualization"> 
      <static-paths>
        <!-- this translates to /pentaho/content/example-visualization/resources/* --> 
        <static-path url="/example-visualization/resources" localFolder="resources"/>
      </static-paths>
   </plugin>           
          

This basic plug-in exposes static files in the resources folder to authenticated users.
