Hi Richard,

To build your plugin inside of ParaView you can Place separate directories
for each plugin under ParaView\Plugins. In each directory you would place
the source, xml and CMakeLists.txt for each respective plugin. Then in the
root of the Plugins directory you will need to modify that CMakeLists.txt
file. In that file you will see calls to paraview_build_optional_plugin. Add
entries for each of your plugins. The arguments for that macro are.

paraview_build_optional_plugin(<PluginName> <Comment> <Plugin Directory>
<Default Enabled/Disabled>)

Let us know if you need any more help.
