For Illustrator CC, the recommended ui is html5. See the examples in the sample code. This is not supported for CS6, but if you use flex for CS6, the plugin code is basically the same.

Dear Friend,
Thank you for your suggestion.
I want to design Dialog for Illustrator CC 2017 plugin in MAC OS.
The HTML5/Javascipt method of developing UI needs to Generate .zxp and install the .zxp to run the plugin.
Is Any methods available in MAC to Create a Dialog like Windows DialogBox() method.
Thank you Friend,
Nathan.

You can install the html5 gui using a zxp file, but you can also install it using your own installer. How do you install your plugin?
You can use the Xcode interface builder to create a dialog on Mac. See the EmptyPanel sample.

You said you don't want to use a zxp, so how are you going to install your plugin aip file?
The EmptyPanel sample contains textedit and button controls, you can add checkboxes and any other controls available in interface builder.

I thought you were writing a plugin that would be installed by end users, so was asking how they would install your plugin. If you are just using the plugin yourself, I don't understand why you don't want to use html5. The problem if you want to distribute your plugin is that the html5 gui needs to be signed so you need a code signing certificate.

Dear Friend,
Yes,I want to Write plugin that would be used by end users.
I am not familiar with zxp.So only I prefered native methods (like DialogBox() in Windows)to the user Interface for my plugin.
I am trying to packaging and Installing zxp in CC 2017 mac.
I saw the illustrator programmers guide and Adobe extension CC 2014 Documentation.
These documentation says,
(1) Develop extension using eclipse and adobe extension builder 3 in HTML5/javascript.
(2)Export it as zxp File.
(3)And Install ZXP using adobe Extension manager.(The local copy of output directory in eclipse workspace folder to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/ is must begore the Installation).
I am having some doubts.
(1)Is separate extension Manager availabe to install extension for CC 2017 plugin in MAC?.
(2) Is my processes(steps 1,2,3) are correct for CC 2017 plugin in MAC.
please give your suggestion packaging and Installing zxp in CC 2017 mac.
Thankyou friend,
Nathan.
