[news.eclipse.platform] What happened to the feature concept in Ganymede

[DI Florian Hackenberger <f.hackenberger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm a bit confused about features in the new eclipse 3.4. Previously (3.3)
features were jar archives which were downloaded and stored in features/ by
the update manager. In 3.4 the update manager still shows 'features' for
selecting which software components to install, but it does not seem to
store them in the features/ directory anymore. Could someone please point
me to documentation explaining the changes? Where are features stored in
eclispe 3.4, and what about a shared installation? If features are not
stored in the bundle pool, how does another eclipse installation keep track
of them?

Cheers,
        Florian
