Eclipse work flow

If necessary, install the Wolfram WorkBench Plugin for Eclipse.

http://support.wolfram.com/kb/27221

In Windows - Preferences - Wolfram - Special make the following changes

enter image description here

Apply and press OK. Then re-open preferences and go to Paclet Development. Enable function paclet support.

Create a new application project

enter image description here

enter image description here

Open the PacletInfo.m file and useful buttons now appear.

enter image description here

Also edit your project properties or the nice buttons may vanish after a build or when you close the project.

enter image description here

Build

Build your project and documentation as usual and then create your Paclet file and deploy.

Install

You can install from a local file path, http or ftp as print definitions reveals.

PacletInstall[filepath]
Needs["GeneralUtilities`"]
PrintDefinitions["PacletInstall"]
PrintDefinitions["PacletManager`Manager`Private`installPacletFromFileOrURL"]

There is no current support for https but this can be patched or you can easily call PacletInstall after downloading and creating a new file name for the download. This could be handy if you wanted to install from GitHub.

@Szabolcs Horvát Thanks for your response, I got it working by studying your Matex package and duplicating the structure there.

I'm not sure why, but I can see that you changed several things compared to what I described on StackExchange. Why don't you try to follow the instructions there exactly for now, and without using the Workbench for the moment, and try a minimal package?

I don't know what kind of package structure the Workbench created for you. There's a link in that post to the standard package structure.

Make sure your Kernel extension look like this:

{"Kernel", Root -> ".", Context -> "pacman`"}

I added that and updated my screenshot (above), and clicked "create paclet"... @Szabolcs Horvát

enter image description here

but still same behavior (can't find it) when I load:

The documentation does work though, although a restart of Mathematica is necessary.

@Emerson Willard Thanks for this tutorial. I followed your steps, and the documentation installs properly... but MMA isn't finding my package:

enter image description here

I'd rather not have to do this manually:

So is there some missing step?

Here's what the project looks like (it's just the template application project) setup:

You'd need to show your PacletInfo.m file for people to be able to comment.

@Szabolcs Horvát Thanks, just updated it.

I started a community project at StackExchange to document what can go into PacletInfo.m. I see that you are also interested in the same topic. All contributions will be most welcome! Please feel free to edit the community wiki answer there.
