In this chapter, we covered how to create features and update sites, which allows plug-ins to be exported and installed into different Eclipse instances. The contents of the update site can be published to a web server and registered with the Eclipse marketplace to gain wide visibility. We also covered how to create applications and products that can be used to export top-level applications, and to define how target platforms can be used to compile against different versions of Eclipse.

In the next chapter, we will look at how to write automated tests for Eclipse plug-ins.
