## What's New in 4.29 (PDE)

Here are descriptions of some of the more interesting or significant changes made to the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) for the 4.29 release of Eclipse. They are grouped into:

- Editors

## Editors

New OSGi Repository Target Location Type

The OSGi Specification defines a XML format for representing a repository as defined in "132 Repository Service Specification" that allows to hold "Resources" with requirements and capabilities. Such a repository usually contains a set of bundles and is very similar to what we have today with P2 updatesites, to improve interfacing of PDE with such repositories this adds a new target location type "Repository" where content can be used as usual.

Support for mixed Products

The PDE Product Editor now supports mixed products, which consist of both Plug-ins and Feature. On the `Overview` page of the Product, just select
`The product configuration is based on: plug-ins and feature`
and you can add Plug-ins and Features to the Product in the `Contents` page of the editor.

You can launch mixed products as usual from the IDE via shortcuts in the `Overview` page. Tycho supports building mixed products since version `3.0.0`.

Enhanced Start Levels configuration in Products

For Products the specification of Plug-in `Start Levels` in the `Configuration` page of the Product-Editor has been enhanced.

- Plugin's that are only transitively contained in a product can now have their `Start Level` configured too
- Recommended Plug-ins are only added if they are (transitively) contained in the product.
