Re: Extending existing Project Types - but not all of them

hi benno,

Thank you for your quick reply, i would like to have both project types avaiable in the new project wizard: html5 project and my SpecialWebProject. 
Already thought about using the layer file but i don`t know yet, how to do this. Though, tediousness is a good thing! 

Is there a sample or some other hints available on the web, what should i read?

greetz, Nico

Once you found out all the relevant places to copy from, you can write a unit/integration test to check, whether your configuration is up to date to the platform configuration.
