My IDE of choice would be eclipse (+CDT)
I am mostly interested in panel applets. I got to compile an applet example, but how would I test it (how would I make it appear in the "new panel element" list)?

Thanks

Copy it where the other applets are?

yup, I thought so. The point (which I obviously had to state explicitly) is, "where are they stored, usually?"

edit: nevermind, found'em. they're in usr/lib/xfce4-$plugin_name. next point is: "is there a way to have them recognized for just my user without copying them out of my user dir at every recompile?"

Look into existing implementations, they require a .desktop file (which has keys, beside the name/icon/comment, for the executable or module location. The executables or libs are installed in $prefix/lib/xfce4/.
