In this post we'll develop Add in for ArcGIS.
 We have configured the Eclipse project for Addin Development using Arcobjects and also configured the Java for it.
To configure Project for ArcObject see this post.

We have the project setup for this. you can see the config.xml file in its addin view (we'll talk about the views later). This view helps alot and makes sure the consistency and their are no errors in config file. Through this we can add different buttons, tools, meus, system tools, dockable window, palette etc and also can organize them.

Click on the source tab at the bottom of config.xml and you can see the xml source code.

Click back to addin view.

Add the details of project Name company etc etc What they are ? you can find help regarding this in esri resource help.
