/** \page howToAddGenericBuildTools How to add a generic build tool plugins to the generic build tool part

This part offers build tool facilities using project files in xml format (dtd is located in buildtools/generic/kdevxmlproject.dtd).
Those xml files can be converted into makefiles, ant xml files or simply shell scripts using build system plugins.
Build system plugin is an object that implements KDevBuildSystem interface.
Build system plugins are located in buildtools/generic/buildsystem.

\section sectionStep1 Step 1: Make your plugin loadable

For a plugin <code>foo</code>, create a file <code>foo.desktop</code> which contains TDevelop/Part in its list of ServiceTypes.

The rest of this document is to be written.

Document your plugin in the way described at \ref howToDocument (doc/api/HowToDocument.dox file).
