The plugins in PEP Tools are intended to help Eclipse RCP developers get more out of their IDE. It raises the level of support for features and products to be equivalent to the built-in support for plugins, and includes time-saving features for plugin development.
- Feature Explorer: The Feature Explorer view is intended to provide equivalent functionality to the Plug-in Dependencies view included with PDE, but for features and products. It also supports various types of refactoring, taking into account more references to the artifact being refactored than Eclipse's built-in refactoring.
- Product Validation: PEP Tools' product support includes a nature and builder for products to ensure that validation problems are found easily.
- Product Editor: PEP Tools adds a "source" tab to the standard PDE product editor.
- PDE Performance: PEP Tools includes a PDE performance-improvement, reducing the time taken to recalculate plugin dependencies.
- Project Templates: When working on a project that involves regular creation of Eclipse projects there are often conventions that are followed to ensure that these projects are consistent and build properly. PEP Tools' project templates build on the support already in Eclipse to allow simple, declarative contribution of templates from within the Eclipse workspace.
