| <h2>Working with update sites</h2> |
| <p>Eclipse is capable of installing or updating features placed on the remote |
| servers. The features and plug-ins must be packaged in JARs and have a manifest |
| (site.xml) file that links them together. These files collectively form an Eclipse <b> |
| update site</b>.</p> |
| <p>PDE provides support for building update sites directly in the workspace. |
| Normally, update sites are placed on remote HTTP servers, but sites in the local |
| file systems are also valid and can be viewed in update manager. PDE uses this |
| property to provide for building and previewing update sites directly in the |
| workspace.</p> |
