OWASP Zap Plug-In Development

Question

I need to develop a plugin for OWASP-Zap, but I can not build the project. There is a Quick Set Up for Eclipse but when I try to Team Project Set up then it fails and I have no idea why. Is there anybody here done something like that? I would appreciate if someone can help me.

The quickest way to set up a ZAP development environment is as follows:

1. Ensure you have a recent version of Eclipse - the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers is a good option (Ensure you have a version of Eclipse 4.2 or later installed or if using an earlier version, the "EGit - Git Team Provider" plug-in installed.)
2. Start Eclipse and select a new (empty) workspace
3. Select the menu: "File / Import"
4. Select "Team / Team Project Set" and click "Next >"
5. Select URL and enter: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zaproxy/zap-admin/master/ZAP-projectSet.psf
6. Click "Finish" and wait for Eclipse to pull down all of the projects and build them.

Answer 1

I see, the psf was removed.
