To create and commit a DTK plugin:
Create the different Java files required for the type of plugin you want to create. See the chapters describing each plugin for further information.
...
Compile all the Java files for your plugin into classes:
Code Block > javac -classpath $CLASSPATH com/mycompany/myagent/*.java

Caution! Do not use the default package context in the Java code |

. All classes |

in Usage Engine must have unique names. |
Create a user-defined *.jar file containing the classes, see

Create a user defined *.mzp package containing the *.jar file, see

Creating a User Defined Package
In order to insert the *.jar file into Usage Engine, a package containing the jar file must first be created. A package gives the *.jar file a name and a version. The
mzsh pcreate command creates a code package used for composing packages composing packages
(.mzp) in order to create additional functionality and updates. The name and version will be visible in the About window once the new package has been committed into the systemthe system.
A package is created using the pcreate command in the mzsh Command Line Tool:
| Code Block |
|---|
usage: pcreate <name> <version> <package-file> [-level <default level>] [-revision <revision> ] [-repository <repository> ] [-hidden] [[-level <level name>] file=<file-to-include> ... ] [-osgi <true/false>] [-exported <export-version> file=<jar file>] For Private Cloud, AWS or when you do not have a local installation, do: java -jar $DEVKIT_JAR pcreate ... |

It is advisable to use a Java wrapper as a proxy for exporting the packages used by your custom mzp. |

| When this argument is set to true, the MZP will be built as an OSGi bundle. This ensures that the Java code within the bundle is isolated from the rest of Usage Engine. Use OSGi bundling when your DTK plugin depends on third-party libraries that you need to include in the MZP, so they do not cause any conflicts with the rest of the system. Only the Java packages explicitly exported will be visible to Usage Engine. To specify which Java packages to export, use the following options:

A Java wrapper is used to call the actual third party library packages used by the mzp. The example below shows how a Java wrapper can be used.

Committing a User Defined Package

To commit a user defined package: 1. $ kubectl cp my_agent.mzp platform-0:/opt/mz 2. $ kubectl exec -it platform-0 -- bash 3. $ mzsh user/pw pcommit my_agent.mzp |
