User guide for Convert Project Plugin

-------------------------------------

Introduction

'''''''''''''

This page describes how to use and configure Convert Project plugin. This plugin is 

used to convert old style configuration structure to Configuration project. The plugin 

can be used to create files and folders. For a folder you can define using absolute paths

or wildcards which files from previous structure are copied to the new structure. For files

it is possible just to copy a file from one location to another, create layer and configuration

root files. For these more complex type of files you can select which files are included using

absolute path or wildcards.

Configuring

''''''''''''

Plugin is configured by modifying .convertprojectml file that must be located in some layer's implml folder

that is included in generated configuration. Typical case is that the plugin is used in products that don't

have configuration project and layers. In that case refer to Installation/Running part.
