Plug-in Generator XML Descriptor

The plug-in generator must provide an XML descriptor to define the main characteristics of the plug-in type. This descriptor provides such information as a description and icon for the plug-in generator and specifies the classes that represent the Presenter (Editor) and the Controller (Runtime).

The best way to develop this XML descriptor is to copy the example below, which is from the DOE Technique generator, and to modify the information as needed.
