[Paraview] Creating Plugins

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Benjamin,

I don't think any of the developers are aware of bug that causes the VTK wrapping parser to hang.  Could you send us a piece of code that demonstrates the problem?

I just renamed the baseclass now (It is not inside a library so that's
no issue) and the parser seems to accept this. Adding //btx //etx works
but that's not really an ideal solution. IMHO, the grammar of the parser
should be changed for such things to be possible.

I'm using the svn version of paraview and the parser seems to hang but
it doesn't report an error. I assume that's a bug which will be fixed
pretty soon

Thanks
Benjamin
