Creating our own plugins

Is it possible to create our own plugins for Angular IDE as it is with regular eclipse?
In other words,
In regular eclipse one could download the development version of eclipse (PDE I think it was called) and then you could create your own plugin and it would package it for you.

Can I do the same with Angular IDE?

——

Yes, you can.

Angular IDE is basically Eclipse IDE with our plugins installed, and running a custom “product”, which gives it unique, Angular IDE branding. You can add the PDE into Angular IDE, or you can write plugins in a regular Eclipse install, and install them into Angular IDE, just as you would with any other Eclipse in distribution.

Hope this helps.
