    Rahoo,

    What exact steps did you follow and what specific problems are you running into? That page was written for CCSv4 and it is possible that changes in CCSv5 may require some modifications to the process. I haven't tried the process in CCSv5 so cannot guarantee it will work as written.

    Did you make any changes to the plugin.xml in that page or try to use it as-is? If you tried using it as-is, take a closer look at the xml file and see if file paths etc need to be changed to match with CCSv5.

    Is your goal to create new templates or to be able to access TI provided examples through a simpler template-like interface? If it is the latter, this is already available through the Resource Explorer. If it is the former, please take a closer look at the xml file or provide more details on what is not working and we will try to help.

    I had some trouble getting those instructions to work myself. In my case it was a user permissions problem.

    It turns out that CCS (well, eclipse really) needs to be able to write data into its installation folder when it finds new plugins. I was running as a non-admin user that lacked access permissions to do that, so the process was failing. I needed to run CCS as administrator once after copying new plugin folders to install them fully. After that they were available for all users.
