Hi Ricky,
Thanks for the link to the sample code.
My classdescription file is named correct. My custom class is
MyControlsView.
After having downloaded and compiled the sample project, I experience
the same problems when using my own plugin - "sigh".
The problem is that I cannot figure out, how to use the plugin from a
client.
I have tried to add the framework to my client. But when I start the
Interface Builder the custom controls does not appear in the IB-
library. According to the documentation this is to be expected:
"How you deploy your Interface Builder plug-in to clients depends
heavily on how you deploy your custom controls to those same clients.
Apple recommends that you deploy custom controls using a custom
framework. A custom framework makes plug-in integration almost trivial
for yourself and for the clients of your framework. If you are unable
to use a custom framework, however, users can load your plug-in
manually into the Interface Builder environment."
If I try to load the plugin manually from IB's Preference Plug-In
dialog I get an error dialog.
According to the documentation all this should be trivial, but ...

The answers to your questions are:
1) Principals Class name is: "MyControls". That is also the name of
the IBPlugin class.
2) I only have one class description file, that is
"MyControlsView.classdescription". Note that I have only one custom
object, so I guess this is ok.
3) Product Name is "MyControls".
Your .classdescription files need to be named according to your
actual controls. So for your MyButton control, you'd need to have a
MyButton.classdescription
For another example plug-in that may be helpful during your
development:
