<h1>Adding a new software site</h1>
<p>There are several different ways to add a software site to the list of sites that are used when browsing available
software and checking for updates. You must know the Web Site location (URL) of the site that you want to add. To add
the site, use one of the following procedures:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add a new site using the <a class="command-link" href=
'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.ui.sdk.SitesPreferencePage)")'>
<img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <strong>Install/Update >
Available Software Sites</strong></a> preference page.
<ol>
<li>Click the <b>Add...</b> button.</li>
<li>Type a name into the <b>Name</b> text box.</li>
<li>If the software site is located on the web, type the Web Site location (URL) of the site into the
<b>Location</b> text box. You may also paste or drag and drop a URL from a web browser into this text box.</li>
<li>If the software site is in your local file system (including a CD), click <b>Local...</b> to specify the
directory location of the site.</li>
<li>If the software site is in your local file system but is packaged as a jar or zip file, click
<b>Archive...</b> to specify the name of the file.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Drag and drop the site URL from a browser into one of the following locations:
<ol>
<li>The <b>Work With</b> combo box or the software list on the first page of the <b>Install New Software</b>
wizard.</li>
<li>The <a class="command-link" href=
'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.ui.sdk.SitesPreferencePage)")'>
<img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <strong>Install/Update >
Available Software Sites</strong></a> preference page.</li>
<li>The <b>Location</b> text field in the <b>Add Site...</b> dialog.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>On some platforms, you may be able to drag and drop a local directory or archive file from the file system into
the same locations.</li>
</ul>
