== It doesn't work after checkout! ==
It can happen that MOLGENIS doesn't compile in Eclipse and that you get a lot of red crosses.
Check then if you have JDK 1.6 as runtime. In Eclipse go to:
 1. In the main menu select 'Windows'
 1. Select Preferences
 1. Select Java
 1. Select Installed JRE's
 1. If there is no 1.6 they you need to add it.

== I want to automatically select my plugin ==
Solution:

}}}

 2. In the handleRequest of the targetted plugin change selection of menu
{{{
#!java
((MenuScreen)getParent()).setSelected(this.name);
}}}
