You should report that with the feedback system. Stale links are easy to fix, but only if they know about it.

Oh well.., skipping a few lines down to
'Writing Plug-Ins'. It begins:
'To write a REALbasic plug-in, you will need the CodeWarrior
development environment....Use of Apple's Project Builder (or gcc)
environment is not possible, because...'
Bother! Apparantly no need to read any further.

Read a bit further. That used to be true; now it's only *mostly* true. It's true if you want to build cross-platform plugins, including support for PEF apps, since (as the docs go on to explain) gcc can't produce PEF shared libraries. But if you care only about a specific platform other than Mac PEF, then you may be able to make a limited plugin using gcc.

It seems like the SDK has not been relly revieved recently, with the
eyes of Windows/Linux starter, to achieve the high class of the other
RB-documentation.

It is reviewed recently, but perhaps not that part of it. Like the rest of the documentation, you can trust the reference section (APIRef.html, IIRC) to be up-to-date, but the rest of it is updated less frequently. When you find mistakes in it, you should report them.

Best,
- Joe

Sir,
I made a plugin in codewarrior for a realbasic v2.2 application.
Will the same plugin work for the same application in realbasic2006?
If not what all changes in the plugin need to be done?

Regards,
Khushboo

Are  plugins of Realbasic version 2.2 compatible with realbasic2006?

Its showing the following error:
cannot compile a constant with no name.

I would say in 90-100% of the cases that they are not compatible. And =20
there was at certain early point a change in REALbasic plugins which =20
made none work without a change (don't remember at which early point =20
that was)
