The Extension Manager lets you package extensions and submit them to Adobe for distribution.
For information on how to configure and test extensions, review the “How do I ensure that my extension will pass testing?” section of the Adobe Exchange site help.
All the files don’t need to be at the same level of the folder hierarchy; you can specify a path to each file, relative to the installation file, using the <file> tag. However, it’s easier to keep track of all the files if you don’t try to package them directly from their installed locations in the Configuration folder.
For more information, see “The Adobe Extension Installation File Format,” which you can download from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/go/em_file_format.
You’ll find several sample extension installation files for Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks in the following folders in the Extension Manager application folder: Samples/Dreamweaver, Samples/Flash, and Samples/Fireworks.
The Extension Manager creates a package file containing compressed versions of all the files used by the extension, including the installation file.
