| <h2>Building plug-ins, fragments and features using update site editor</h2> |
| <p align="left"> |
| Building an update site is a relatively simple task and most of the work is done |
| on the <b>Features</b> page of the update site editor.</p> |
| <p align="center"> |
| <img border="0" src="images/site-features.png" ></p> |
| <p align="center"> |
| </p> |
| <p align="left"> |
| Features added to the <b>Managing the Site</b> section will be built recursively |
| when you press <b>Build All</b>. This means that the features and all the |
| plug-ins and fragments they include will be built in one batch operation. |
| The feature JARs end up in the <b>features/</b> folder of your site project and |
| the plug-in JARs are placed in the <b>plugins/</b> folder of your site project.</p> |
| <p align="left"> |
| If you would like to build one feature, select a feature and press the <b>Build</b> |
| button..</p> |
| <p align="left"> |
| If you are dealing with features that include other features, only the root |
| feature needs to be listed, since its child features will automatically be |
| built.</p> |
| <p align="left">Features that have environment constraints need to specify environments |
| in the<b> Feature Environments</b> section. Select a feature and fill in the |
| values, or press <b>Synchronize...</b> button and let the environment be copied |
| from feature manifest to the site.</p> |
| <p align="left"> |
| For easy browsing of your features on your update site, you can create |
| categories and organize your published features in these categories. A |
| feature may appear in >= 0 categories.</p> |
| <p align="left"> |
| To preview on what your web site would look like, save the site.xml file and |
| open |
| the index.html file at the root of your site project in a browser.</p> |
