## Building plug-ins, fragments and features using update site editor

Building an update site is a relatively simple task and most of the work is done on the Features page of the update site editor.

Features added to the Features to Build section will be built recursively when you press Build All. This means that the features and all the plug-ins and fragments they include will be built in one batch operation. The feature JARs end up in the features/ folder of your site project and the plug-in JARs are placed in the plugins/ folder of your site project.

If you would like to build a subset of those features, there is a Build action available through the context menu of that section.

If you are dealing with features that include other features, only the root feature needs to be listed, since its child features will automatically be built.

Not all features on the update site may be meant for general consumption. Therefore, the features you intend to publish need to be explicitly dragged and dropped in the Features to Publish section.

For easy browsing of your features on your update site, you can create categories and organize your published features in these categories. A feature may appear in >= 0 categories.

To preview on what your website would look like, save the site.xml file and open the index.html file at the root of your site project in a browser.
