Once a feature has been created and has one or more plug-ins added, they can be exported from the workbench. An exported feature can be installed into other Eclipse instances, as the next section will demonstrate. Note that exporting a feature also builds and exports all the associated plug-ins.
To export a plug-in, go to File | Export | Deployable features. This will give a dialog with the option to select any features in the workspace.
Choose the com.packtpub.e4.feature and give a suitable directory location:
Click on Finish and the feature and all of its plug-ins will be exported.
Open the destination location in a file explorer and see the files created:
