Description:

            id="org.eclipse.pde.ui.directory"
            name="%provisioner.file.name">

               %provisioner.file.description
         </description>

PDE supplies a File System provisioner extension to add plug-ins from the file system, and an update site provisioner to add plug-ins from repositories.
