Creating a feature project in Rational Application Developer
Before you can create an Update Site project in Rational Application Developer (RAD) you must first create one or more feature projects that will refer to all of the plugins you want to deploy.
Procedure
What to do next
You must choose whether to create one feature or several. The feature defines the granularity for installation and update. Populating an update site with several small features instead of one large feature allows for selective installation. For example, one base feature that is always installed can provide the functional plugins, and several optional features can each provide fragments containing message text translated into a different language. Different clients can be installed with more or fewer optional features, and new language features can be developed and deployed as necessary without re-versioning the base feature.
