I am following the "getting started with buildap.doc" to create the HelloWorld program and I am stuck at p18, 19. After I created the part and changed the code to what it said in the document, I saved all the files. Then I ran the command "ant -DCreate-Parts=true" and it built succesfully. After that I looked at the "Part.vcb" and the file changed as the document said. Now when I look at the "Explorer" and "Graph Editor", the part picture haven't change. The Part picture still look exactly like before I executed the "ant" command. It doesn't have "inpin" or "outpin" connect to it. And the name is still "Part", not "HelloWorld".
Does anyone having the same problem or know how to fix this problem?
Thank you Bill

Hi Bill,

Bug in 0.2.3 plugin make newly created Part.vcb configuration file be saved in UTF8 format (NOTE: it is file format not content format).(there is problem with UTF8 format some file editors or programs put 3 invisible bytes called Byte Order Mark (BOM) bytes EF, BB, BF, for UTF-8, which cause XML parsers fail.
(See www.i18ngurus.com/encyclopedia/byte_order_mark.html and p2p.wrox.com/archive/xslt/2002-11/79.asp )
so after detecting changes at Part.vcb file parser fail and no changes affected in Explorer and Graph Editor views.
try plug-in 0.2.4 there it should work.
