7. What is plug-in?
Plug-ins allow Eclipse to be extended. This feature is called extensibility. Plug-in contributes to enhancing Eclipse by the additional capabilities added. This helps delivering tools which are simple to use with more consistent implementation. In our activity we compare features of two Database plug-ins – Quantum and SQL Edge.
