+`${clipboard}` editor variable for
+==========================================
+
+This plugin adds support for a `${clipboard}` editor variable in XML Editor.
+
+When using `${clipboard}` (e.g. in a code template) it will insert the contents from your clipboard in **plain text**.
+
+The editor variable may be used in all contexts where oXygen allows to use editor variables.
+However it will not show up in the context menu of the "green arrow button variable chooser"!
+
+
+Building the plugin
+-------------------
+
+### Packaging
+
+Run `mvn clean package` to trigger a ZIP + folder build in `target/` directory:
+
+* `target/clipboardEditorVariable.zip`
+* `target/clipboardEditorVariable/`
+
+### Install to Maven
+
+Run `mvn clean install` to install the current version of the plugin in your local Maven repository.
+
+### Debugging
+
+To debug plugin internals follow the oXygen users guide at https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/index.html#topics/debug-plugin.html
+
+### Deploy to oXygen
+
+On Mac OS X you can deploy the plugin automatically to the oXygen plugins directory in `/Applications/OXYGEN-DIR/plugins/`
+
+### Commandline (Mac only)
+`mvn clean install -Doxygen.plugins.dir=/Applications/oxygen-17/plugins/`
+
+### Eclipse (Windows & Mac)
+* Add a Maven launch scenario
+* Set the _Goal_ to `install`
+* Add a new _Parameter_:
+ * _Name:_ `oxygen.plugins.dir`
+ * _Value:_ `/Applications/oxygen-17/plugins/`
