The Eclipse SDK includes the basic platform plus two major tools that are useful for plug-in development. The Java development tools (JDT) implement a full featured Java development environment. The Plug-in Developer Environment (PDE) adds specialized tools that streamline the development of plug-ins and extensions.
Runtime core
The platform runtime core implements the runtime engine that starts the platform base and dynamically discovers and runs plug-ins. A plug-in is a structured component that describes itself to the system using an OSGi manifest (MANIFEST.MF) file and a plug-in manifest (plugin.xml) file. The platform maintains a registry of installed plug-ins and the functionality they provide.
