			We begin by writing the header file hello-world.h. It is a
			standard <span class="type">GObject</span>
			class definition, minus
			the standard macro definitions. You can define the macros if
			you want, but for our hello-world plugin, we don't need it and
			have been removed for simplicity. Notice that our HelloWorldPlugin
			class is derived from abstract <GTKDOCLINK HREF="">
			<span class="type">AnjutaPlugin</span></GTKDOCLINK>
			class. All Anjuta plugins derive from this base class.

			Next implement our plugin in hello-world.c file. We
			will be accessing a Document Manager plugin using
			<a class="link" href="IAnjutaDocumentManager.html" title="IAnjutaDocumentManager"><span class="type">IAnjutaDocumentManager</span></a>
			interface, because
			all document manager plugins implement and expose this interface.
			If you use other interfaces, you can include their respective
			<a class="xref" href="plugin-interfaces.html" title="Plugin interfaces"><i>Plugin interfaces</i></a>. For our hello-world plugin
			we begin by including following header files.

			We have one action in our plugin and here is the callback for that.
			In this function, we are querying
			<a class="link" href="AnjutaShell.html" title="AnjutaShell"><span class="type">AnjutaShell</span></a>
			for a plugin implementing
			<a class="link" href="IAnjutaDocumentManager.html" title="IAnjutaDocumentManager"><span class="type">IAnjutaDocumentManager</span></a>
			interface and getting the current Editor. Editor is then checked
			to see if it implements
			<a class="link" href="IAnjutaFile.html" title="IAnjutaFile"><span class="type">IAnjutaFile</span></a>
			interface,
			using which we determine filename of currently active editor. If
			the editor doesn't support
			<a class="link" href="IAnjutaFile.html" title="IAnjutaFile"><span class="type">IAnjutaFile</span></a>
			interface, we show an error dialog.

			We then define our action entry. This is required for registering
			actions and UI merging. If your plugin doesn't have UI, they are
			not required. We have only one action, so there is only one entry
			defined. Read <a class="link" href="AnjutaUI.html" title="AnjutaUI"><span class="type">AnjutaUI</span></a>
