| <p class="style1">Feature Overview</p> |
| <p>The <strong>Overview</strong> page serves a dual purpose:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>It contains two main sections that define important properties of the feature: <strong>General Information</strong> and <strong>Supported Environments</strong>.</li> |
| <li>It functions as a quick reference on how to define, export and publish a feature by providing the <strong>Feature Content</strong>, <strong>Exporting</strong> and <strong>Publishing</strong> sections. These sections provide hyperlinks that, when clicked, navigate to other pages or invoke commands. </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> </p> |
| <p class="style2">General Information </p> |
| <p><img src="../../../images/feature_editor/overview_general.png" alt="Feature Overview" hspace="30"> </p> |
| <p>An<strong> ID</strong> is mandatory and must comply with the <a href="../../../../../org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/plugin_manifest.html">specifications</a>.</p> |
| <p>A <strong>Version</strong> is mandatory and must be of the form <em>major.minor.</em><em>micro.qualifier</em> (e.g. 1.3.0). </p> |
| <p>A <strong>Name</strong> is the translatable presentation name of the feature. This field is required. </p> |
| <p>A <strong>Provider</strong> is the translatable name of the feature provider. This field is optional. </p> |
| <p align="left">A <strong>Branding Plug-in</strong> stores branding information for primary features. If not explicitly set, Eclipse will assume that the branding plug-in has the same identifier as the feature.</p> |
| <p align="left">The <strong>Update Site URL</strong> denotes a URL that is used by <em>Update Manager</em> when searching for feature updates.</p> |
| <p align="left">The <strong>Update Site Name</strong> is the human-readable label of the referenced update site. </p> |
| <p align="left"> </p> |
| <p align="left" class="style2">Supported Environments</p> |
| <p align="left">By default, your feature is treated as universally portable. You can add constraints by providing supported <strong>Operating Systems</strong>, <strong>Window Systems</strong>, <strong>Languages</strong> and/or <strong>System Architectures</strong>. This information will be used to ensure that your feature is not installed or shown in the context that does not match these constraints.</p> |
