Plug-ins are the modular extensions that software vendors develop to add functionality to an Eclipse-based workbench. Plug-ins encapsulate the perspectives, editors, and views that enable users of the workbench to work with particular types of resources.
To install a plug-in, you extract a compressed archive into the plugins directory under the product directory of your workbench. The compressed archive contains the plug-in.
IBM provides the System Manager and Integrated Test Environment plug-ins with WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Sync to work with business integration resources. These plug-ins are embodied by a number of uncompressed directories in the plugins directory of your workbench within the com.ibm.btools namespace. For instance, much of System Manager, the primary interface you will use in creating integration components, is encompassed in the contents of the com.ibm.btools.csm plug-in directory.
