Eclipse Plug-in Development Beginner's Guide - Second Edition

Time for action – building a feature

Features can be built in the same way as plug-ins, although this time the packaging type is eclipse-feature.

1. Move the com.packtpub.e4.feature project underneath the com.packtpub.e4.parent project.
2. Add the line <module>com.packtpub.e4.feature</module> to the parent pom.xml file.
3. Copy the pom.xml file from the clock plug-in to the feature project.
4. Modify the packaging type to <packaging>eclipse-feature</packaging>.
5. Change the artifactId to com.packtpub.e4.feature.
6. The resulting pom.xml file will look like:
