PDE Build facilitates the automation of plug-in build processes. PDE Build produces Ant scripts based on development-time information provided by, for example, the plugin.xml and build.properties files. The generated Ant scripts, can fetch the relevant projects from a CVS repository, build jars, Javadoc, source zips, put everything together in a format ready to ship, and send it out to a remote location (e.g., a local network or a downloads server).

By default PDE provides a default target platform which simply points to the plug-ins in your currently running Eclipse instance (often referred to as your host). For Eclipse plug-in developers this might be all you need. RCP developers must be more careful managing their target as adding dependencies increases the size and complexity of their application. When creating a new target definition for RCP, consider using the RCP template (available with or without source).
