8. Write a command class that implements the correct annotations for a command: (Note: (1) by using authorized annotation, we can enabled this API by default for a given set of role types, (2) by using the validations annotation on @Parameter field we can perform ApiArgValidator.NotNullOrEmpty checks on string types and ApiArgValidator.PositiveNumber on number types such as short, int, long.)

11. Update . For CloudStack version 4.8.x and below update client/tomcatconf/commands.properties.in, and add the command name (for the example this would be getTimeOfDay as stated in the @APICommand annotation). For CloudStack 4.9.x and above, the commands.properties.in way has been deprecated and API authors are encouraged to enable their API by default using authorized annotation as in the example above which can be used to enable the API for a given set of user role types.

12. Along with this you need to add your plugin as a dependency to client/pom.xml. You will see examples within the pom, you will require your plugins artifact ID.
