The Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse

In Chapter 13, Defining Features and Products, the role of features in an Eclipse installation was discussed. This exercise takes you through the process of developing a feature and then deploying that feature for installation using three different approaches. This exercise is designed to help you understand how features are created and how you can use the PDE to assist in the packaging steps required for plug-ins and features. Once the feature has been packaged, you configure your feature for use as an extension to an existing Eclipse installation and then as the primary branding feature. Once all these steps are complete, an invocation of Eclipse will result in a product launch with your branding content, as shown below.
