["Jeff McAffer" <jeff_mcaffer_REMOVE@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I really do recommed looking at the PDE doc (either online or in the SDK
help system).  Anything I described here would be less accurate/complete.
Start by looking at

http://dev.eclipse.org:8080/help/content/help:/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guid
e/pde_running.htm
or looking for the PDE topic in you Eclipse Help.
