The PDE provides a number of views and editors that make is easier to build plugins for Eclipse. Using the PDE, you can create your plugin manifest file (plugin.xml), specify your plugin runtime and other required plugins, define extension points, including their specific markup, associate XML Schema files with the extension point markup so extensions can be validated, create extensions on other plugin extension points, etc.

You only need the PDE if you plan to develop plugins.

Getting started

Extensive documentation on the PDE is part of the plugins in the Eclipse help.
