Overview

The Eclipse platform consists of many plug-ins, which are bundles of code that provide some functionality to the entire system. Plug-ins contribute functionality to the system by implementing pre-defined extension points. You can provide extension points in your own plug-in to allow other plug-ins to extend your functionality.
