Displaying Notifications in RTC

This is also covered by the tutorial you read in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/FoundationNotifierTutorial#Contributing_an_Event_Category_w

You need to use the extension point "Notification" in foundation.rcp.core to contribute a event category and type so that a user can enable a notification for this type.

Thank you for your response.

I added two `extension` tags to the plugin.xml file as directed in the notifier tutorial. However, I fail to see any event types or event added to the `Windows > Preferences > Notifications` window.

Just to be sure, I extended the abstract Notifier class and wrote some code for the notify method. For eventcategory and eventtype tags in plugin.xml, although I specified their id just like I would for any class, I do not need to create a separate class for them right?

Just a bit confused regarding that. I'm pretty sure that the syntax of my plugin.xml is right since I used intellisense to write it all and I don't get any warnings/errors on it.

To use the extension point you add it to the plugin.xml of your bundle after adding a dependency to com.ibm.team.foundation.rcp.core. When you add it, the editor asks you for a class that implements Notifier. This class would live in the same bundle and gets loaded in RTC automatically.
