FAQ for Eclipse Setup
- What is an "update site", and what do I do with it?
An update site is a way to install new features into eclipse. The following page has a flash video that demonstrates how to use an update site URL. This particular video is for an older version of ht Maven 2 plugin, but the basic procedure is the same for all update sites:

The "update site" URL should be entered in the dialog box titled "New Update Site". This dialog apears when the "New Remote Site..." button is clicked.
The name of the update site can be anything you want.
