Feature IDs are crucial for the Eclipse Marketplace Client (MPC) as they pinpoint the exact features to be installed from your listing, ensuring a successful setup of your products.

Locating Your Feature IDs:

  1. Access the site.xml file located at the root of your Eclipse Update Site.
  2. Look for <feature> tags—each corresponds to a feature in your Update Site.

For each feature you wish to be installed by default, provide its ID string.

Example:

Original Tag in site.xml:

<feature url="path/to/feature.jar" id="feature.to.install" version="1.x.x.x"> 

In the Feature ID field, simply input:

feature.to.install
