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.
