  - Plugin Development SDK
  - Setting up the development environment
    Set up the development environment in Eclipse IDE for writing your plugins. Use any Java EE IDE of your choice and make the required configurations mentioned in this topic. You need certain artifacts from <ASSET_PICKER_HOME> to complete the environment setup. This topic will provide information about project building and packaging using Apache Maven so ensure that you have Apache Maven installed.
  - Verification and troubleshooting
    To verify end-to-end integration, place the JAR file, containing the plugin implementation, in the class path of the application server where the Content Integration is deployed. Additionally, configure the corresponding content repository in <ASSET_PICKER_HOME>/conf/systems.properties file (you can refer to the sample-systems.properties file within the <ASSET_PICKER_HOME>/dev-kits/asset-integration-starter project).

RESTful content search flow

The following figure shows the end-to-end execution flow for RESTful content search:

When Content Integration Framework receives content search request from user for the target system, it consults with the respective plugin to gather request specific logical information and makes an API call to the target system. It consults with the plugin once again to transform the API response into an expected format and responds to the user.
