[Qgis-developer] Novice, development of Plugin

[Benoit]

Jude,

After copying your plugin in the .qgis folder as you have done you  
need to restart qgis if it was active at the time. Then you need to  
enable your plugin inside qgis: plugins menu, manage plugin, then  
check the box associated with your plugin, close dialog and your  
plugin should be listed in the plugins menu.

HTH,
Benoit
