The general process for creating a plugin is not very complex:

• A Basic Project

• Create a plugin project – mvn archetype:generate.
  • Build and package – mvn install.
  • Install the plugin file, add it to your ReadyAPI.
  • Try out the plugin, make sure it works.
  • Remove the plugin again, we will replace it with a customized version.

• Open the project in your favorite java development environment.
  • Change the PluginAction.java class.
  • Edit metadata to reflect changes.
  • Build and package – mvn install.
