Overview

TIBCO BusinessWork Plug-in Development - Connect Everything
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorksPlug-in Development Kit is a tool that speeds up the development of new plug-ins for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™. 
BusinessWork Plug-in Development Kit provides a wizard-driven approach to creating palettes and activities, configuring each activity input/output, and generating the scripts for a new plug-in. 

Why PDK? What does it take? How to use it?

BusinessWorks PDK works with TIBCO Business Studio (BWCE/BW6) and is used to create plug-ins that are not yet presently available Out-of-the-box from the platform that boost developers' productivity. So developers are free to build their custom activities that will solve the business challenges that they're facing. Once developed, the plug-ins are installed and utilized exactly the same way as the plug-in provided by TIBCO.
BusinessWorks PDK camouflages the intricacy of the plug-in development process, generates the compliant code to BusinessWorks SDK specifications, and delivers tooling to package, install, and document the plug-in.
The subsequent figure describes a complete workflow of creation to usage of a custom plug-in using the BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit.
