+# Developing on the plugin
+
+The main two files you will want to look at are:
+
+- `/src/index.ts`, which contains the entry point for the plugin source code.
+- `/src/manifest.json`, which is the plugin manifest. It contains information such as the plugin a name, version, etc.
+
+## Building the plugin
+
+The plugin is built using Webpack, which creates the compiled code in `/dist`. A JPL archive will also be created at the root, which can use to distribute the plugin.
+
+To build the plugin, simply run `npm run dist`.
+
+The project is setup to use TypeScript, although you can change the configuration to use plain JavaScript.
+
+## Updating the plugin framework
+
+To update the plugin framework, run `npm run update`.
+
+In general this command tries to do the right thing - in particular it's going to merge the changes in package.json and .gitignore instead of overwriting. It will also leave "/src" as well as README.md untouched.
+
+The file that may cause problem is "webpack.config.js" because it's going to be overwritten. For that reason, if you want to change it, consider creating a separate JavaScript file and include it in webpack.config.js. That way, when you update, you only have to restore the line that include your file.
