[Paraview] ParaView 3 and PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULE

[Kent Eschenberg]

Clint,

Thanks but those Wiki pages don't answer 2 important questions. I assume 
references to "GUI xml" and "client xml" are equivalent.

1) Where does all the information shown in the "Extend" example go, that gives 
the name of the C++ class and describes the GUI? The example from "Plugin" 
(which you provided in your message, below) doesn't show any of that.

2) What if the custom module is a filter not a reader?

TIA
