There used to be some open source plugins for FileMaker 5/6, but I have yet to come across any that are written using the FIleMaker 7+ Plugin APIs.

Our plans are to create some simple open source plugins in the future for reference for people to create their own plugins from.

So once you’ve made a FileMaker Plugin, where can you tell the world about it?

There are a few places you can submit it and also after a while of being out, some filemaker websites may pick up the news and may post about your plugin if they think their readers would be interested!

The only official IDE’s officially supported to create FileMaker Plugins, are Visual Studio for Windows Plugins and Xcode for OS X.

In the past Codewarrior was the IDE used on the Mac platform, but support for that has since been dropped.

As Xcode internally uses the GCC compiler, you may be able to create a Plugin for windows using GCC and Cygwin.
