| <h2>Setting up an update site project</h2> |
| <p>An update site project is represented in the workspace with a project that |
| has a site.xml file at its root.</p> |
| <p>PDE provides a wizard for setting up an update site project. Typically, you use |
| this wizard to set up an update site once you are done developing plug-ins, |
| fragments and features. However, you can create the site project at any stage of development.</p> |
| <p>By default, an update site project is created local to your workspace. Since you |
| may want to host multiple versions of your plug-ins and features in this site, |
| you may want to keep the update site outside the workspace location. In that |
| case, change the location of the update site project during creation. If the |
| location you specified already contains the files the wizard is about to create, |
| it will keep them instead. This will allow you to create this project in more |
| than one workspace and point at the same shared location.</p> |
| <h3>Example: Setting up an update site project</h3> |
| <p>Assuming that you have followed the previous examples, you should have "XYZ |
| Plug-in" and "German Fragment" in your workspace already, as well |
| as "Sample Feature" feature project. We will |
| create an update site that can serve "Sample Feature" to the update manager.</p> |

| <li>Set the name of the project to "Update Site". </li> |
| <li>Set the update location to a non-default location.</li> |
| <li>Select the <b>Generate a web page</b> listing option. This will help |
