# IDE Extension Samples

The IdeDevKit sample application includes several samples that demonstrate a few of the ways you can extend the WebLogic Workshop IDE.

Each of the projects in ExtensionDevKit/IdeDevKit is meant to be built as a standalone extension. Each project uses a custom build script to build an extension JAR and then push it and auxiliary files to the appropriate locations in the Workshop directory structure. When you click the Start button in an extension project, the IDE builds the project, then launches a new IDE instance in which you can test the extension. For more information on building and debugging extensions, see Debugging Extensions.

For a list of the samples included, see IDE Extension Samples (IdeDevKit).
