What are best practices for neo4j server plugin development?

Question

I was able to get the example plugins installed on my server using these docs: http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/server-plugins.html

Now I want to develop my own plugins but I'm not sure how to debug and unit test them. Where can I read more about this and best practices for server plugin development?

Answer 1

You can develop your plugin just as simple java project, testing the plugins is easy, just instantiate them in a unit-test and pass the Node, GraphDatabaseService and parameters to the plugin method and inspect the results.
