HTML plug-ins for the vSphere Client have two components. User interface components run in the Web browser and Java service components run on the Virgo server. The vSphere Client development kit provides tools for creating an HTML plug-in project template for each of these components.

You have two options for creating the HTML plug-in project template from which you can choose depending on your development setup:

Create the project template by using the scripts provided in the vsphere-client-sdk\html-client-sdk\tools\Plugin generation scripts directory.

Create an HTML plug-in project by using the vSphere Web Client Tools Eclipse plug-in. For more information about how to set up the SDK Eclipse plug-in, see Install the vSphere Web Client Tools Eclipse Plug-In.
