{note}The plug-in that defines the product (Petals Studio's plug-in) does not appear on this diagram.
It is independent and defines the welcome page and splash screen. It also contains the *.product file.{note}

h1. Build

Petals Studio can be exported manually with the Plugin Development Environment (PDE).
Select *File > Export* and then *Plug-in Development > Eclipse product*.
Select _com.ebmwebsourcing.petals.studio/petals-studio.product_ in the configuration list and complete the properties before starting the build.
