7.2.2 MANIFEST.MF and plugin.xml

In Eclipse terminology, plug-ins are defined by two files, MANIFEST.MF and plugin.xml. The MANIFEST.MF file identifies the plug-in by name, version, and so on. The plugin.xml file defines the extensions and extension points that this plug-in provides. This is how the plug-in gets linked into the Eclipse platform environment.

Ultimately, MANIFEST.MF and plugin.xml get packaged along with the Java code in a Java archive (.jar) file.
