## Description
This sample extension illustrate how to access workspaces to retrieve configured commands and execute it with a simple action.
Read the tutorial at: https://eclipse-che.readme.io/v5.0/docs/native-access-to-the-workspace
The following sample will create a new file called "che-was-here" in the project by using the native "touch" command.
## How to test sample-plugin-nativeaccess plugin
### 1- Link to IDE Assembly
The plugin-nativeaccess extension is only a client-side (IDE) extension. You have to introduce the extension as a dependency in `/che/assembly/assembly-ide-war/pom.xml`.
Add:
```XML
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.che.sample</groupId>
<artifactId>che-sample-plugin-nativeaccess-ide</artifactId>
</dependency>
...
```
You can insert the dependency anywhere in the list. After you have inserted it, run `mvn sortpom:sort` and maven will order the `pom.xml` for you.
### 2- Register dependency to the GWT application
Link the GUI extension into the GWT app. You will add an `<inherits>` tag to the module definition. The name of the GWT extension is derived from the direction + package structure given to the GWT module defined in our extension.
In: `assembly-ide-war/src/main/resources/org/eclipse/che/ide/IDE.gwt.xml`
Add:
```XML
...
<inherits name='org.eclipse.che.plugin.nativeaccessexample.NativeAccessExample'/>
...
```
### 3- Rebuild Eclipse Che
```Shell
# Build a new IDE.war
# This IDE web app will be bundled into the assembly
cd che/assembly/assembly-ide-war
mvn clean install
# Create a new Che assembly that includes all new server- and client-side extensions
cd assembly/assembly-main
mvn clean install
```
### 4- Run Eclipse Che
```Shell
# Start Che using the CLI with your new assembly
# Replace <version> with the actual directory name
export CHE_LOCAL_BINARY=path_to_che_sources/assembly/assembly-main/target/eclipse-che-<version>/eclipse-che-<version>
che start
```
