I created a basic object template and for some reason no object is showing up in the plugins menu.    Here is the .cpp file and the main.cpp file..    Does anyone see any reason why this wouldn't work in 11.5?

TreeMaker.cpp

#define ID_TREEMAKER  1024835  
  
class TreeMaker : public ObjectData  
{  
  INSTANCEOF(TreeMaker,ObjectData)  
  
  public:  
      virtual Bool Init(GeListNode *node);  
      virtual Bool Message(GeListNode *node, LONG type, void *t_data);  
      static    NodeData *Alloc(void) { return gNew TreeMaker; }  
              Bool CreateTree(GeListNode *node, BaseObject* op);  
  
                
};  
  
// initialize settings  
Bool TreeMaker::Init(GeListNode *node)
