Petals Studio is an Eclipse _product_, made up of _plug-ins_ that are organized as _features_.
As a reminder, notice that the general Eclipse architecture was described [here to explain how to update the studio|Updating Petals Studio].

h1. Feature organization

The studio uses 4 features, each one matching a category in the studio's JIRA.

h1. Petals plug-ins

Petals plug-ins are part of 3 of the 4 features.

{note}Although the plug-in organization was represented as a tree it is in fact more like a graph.
As an example, some component plug-ins also use directly common plug-ins (\*.petals.common.\*).{note}

{note}The plug-in that defines the product (Petals Studio's plug-in) does not appear on this diagram.
It is independent and defines the welcome page and splash screen. It also contains the *.product file.{note}

h1. Build

Petals Studio can be exported manually with the Plugin Development Environment (PDE).
Select *File > Export* and then *Plug-in Development > Eclipse product*.
Select _com.ebmwebsourcing.petals.studio/petals-studio.product_ in the configuration list and complete the properties before starting the build.
