 One of the final tasks is to add the tool to the ''View'' > ''Tool'' menu in the EiffelStudio IDE. Open <eiffel>EB_DEVELOPMENT_WINDOW_MENU_BUILDER</eiffel> in EiffelStudio and locate <eiffe>tool_list_menu</eiffel>. A quick review of the code reveals how to add the new tool to the menu. As an example using the running Errors and Warnings tool find the following line of code:
-  fill_show_menu_for_tool (Result, develop_window.tools.errors_and_warnings_tool)
+  if develop_window.tools.errors_and_warnings_tool /= Void then
 Replicate this line of code at the correct placement in the menu, replacing the call to  <eiffel>errors_and_warnings_tool</eiffel> with the attribute added in <eiffel>EB_DEVELOPMENT_WINDOW_TOOLS</eiffel>.

 === Building and Registering ===
 Now the accessor and an associated assigner exists it is time to finish up by building and registering the tool. Open <eiffel>EB_DEVELOPMENT_WINDOW_MAIN_BUILDER</eiffel> in EiffelStudio and locate <eiffel>build_errors_and_warnings_tool</eiffel>. Using <eiffel>build_errors_and_warnings_tool</eiffel> as a reference add the code required to build the tool. It should consist of the creation of the tool, calling the assigner just created in <eiffel>EB_DEVELOPMENT_WINDOW_TOOLS</eiffel> and a call to <eiffel>setup_tool</eiffel>.
 In the call to <eiffel>setup_tool</eiffel> be sure to replace the shortcut string <eiffel>"show_errors_and_warnings_tool"</eiffel> with the name of the new tool, prefixed with "show_". Shortcut handling is not discussed here, instead that will be discussed in the next installment.

 === Adding a Tool Accessor ===
 In EiffelStudio open the class <eiffel>EB_DEVELOPMENT_WINDOW_TOOLS</eiffel>. <eiffel>EB_DEVELOPMENT_WINDOW_TOOLS</eiffel> contains all the tools found in EiffelStudio and provides quick access inside EiffelStudio to any of those tools. It is here where an attribute, and an associated assigner, needs to be added.
 Locate <eiffel>errors_and_warnings_tool</eiffel> and underneath add a class attribute for the tool, using the same class name type of your tool itself. Next locate the attribute assigner for <eiffel>errors_and_warnings_tool</eiffel>, <eiffel>set_errors_and_warnings_tool</eiffel>.  Replicate <eiffel>set_errors_and_warnings_tool</eiffel> and adjust it to set the class attribute for the tool just added.
