| <h3>Project Settings </h3> |
| <p>The <strong>Project Name</strong> for the update site project can be any valid directory name. </p> |
| <p>The project <strong>Location</strong> field specifies the default location as a subdirectory nested inside the workspace location. The project location can be changed to any writable location by unchecking the <strong>Use default location</strong> checkbox and entering the location of choice.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Web Resources</h3> |
| <p>The <strong>Generate a web page listing all available features within the site</strong> option generates several web files that can provide an HTML index preview of the update site contents. </p> |
| <p>The default location for the <strong>Web resources location</strong> is a <em>web/ </em>folder; but, this location can be overridden by the user. </p> |
| |
| <h3>Update Site Project Structure</h3> |
| <p>When an update site project is created, its manifest file will open in the PDE site manifest editor. An Update site project has a <em>site.xml</em> file located at its root. If the option to create a web page is chosen in the wizard, the project will also contain a <em>web/</em> folder and an <em>index.html</em> file located at its root. </p> |
