This option launches a wizard sequence designed to simplify the process of creating a Notes client plug-in deployment widget. The wizard guides you through the widget definition and extension.xml creation process. For details, see "Configuring a new Features and Plugins deployment widget" in Notes 8.5 and greater help.
