Is there any handbook/reference on how to write a plugin?
If I need a specific function, how can I find out how to do it?
Thanks!

Well, that gives an outline for how to write a plugin. Usefull but not enought.
At present, I want to know How a plugin can find out the filenames and directories of all files in the project. How is that done and how did you find out?
Thanks!

:D I guess, I have my ways ;)
LonelySTar: Download the codeblocks sourcecode and study the SDK, specially the headers - of these, pay attention to the ones that end with "manager".
(I started this post before the last two were posted. I'll post it as it's somewhat more detailed ;))

Manager::Get()->GetProjectManager() returns a
ProjectManager*.
ProjectManager::GetProjects() returns a
ProjectsArray* (IIRC basically the wx-version of
std::vector<cbProject*>, but without iterators)
cbProject::GetFilesCount() returns the number of files in a project.
cbProject::GetFile(int index) returns a
ProjectFile*.
From there
ProjectFile::file or
ProjectFile::relativeFilename should be able to help you.
Now where did I find all this?
Well, I started looking in
sdk/projectmanager.h, and went from there. Like Rick said: look at the managers ;). The only time I actually had to perform a search for the next file was when I got to
ProjectFile, which is conveniently located in
sdk/projectbuildtarget.h :roll:.
The SDK headers are quite helpful, but you can always get doxygen and process
sdk.doxy for a HTML version with hyperlinks :).
Thanks for all your help!

Beware though: that's for RC2, there have been a lot of changes since then in SVN. So if you're using the SVN version of C::B I would recommend generating the documentation yourself, though you can probably use the last link in the post Takeshi mentioned to do so.
Exactly.
Though it would be good if we can have online docs autogenerated from SVN.

Now there's a good use for
cron if I ever saw one 8).
