Developing a task plug-in involves the following general steps, which are explained in more detail later in this section:
Create a Java class that extends com.novell.emframe.dev.Task.
Override the execute(TaskContext context, Properties resultStrings) method.
Compile your Java class.
Create JSPs for the UI. If the task has more than one state, you must provide a JSP for each state unless the JSP is flexible enough to adapt to each state.
Create a registration file to register your task with iManager.
Copy the Java class files, JSPs, and the registration file to the appropriate directories within the iManager directory structure.
Start iManager and test your task.
