      <tweaklet 
         id="org.eclipse.ui.internal.tweaklets.ConcreteXYZTweaklet" 
         name="XYZ Tweaklet" 
         description="Short description of the tweak" 
         definition="org.eclipse.ui.internal.tweaklets.AbstractXYZTweaklet" 
         implementation="org.eclipse.ui.internal.tweaklets.ConcreteXYZTweaklet" 
         icon="icons/XYZ.gif"/>
   </extension>

API Information:

Typically, although not required, the value of the definition attribute is the fully qualified name of an abstract class or an interface defined by the workbench, and the value of the implementation attribute is the fully qualified name of a non-abstract class provided by the extending plug-in.

Supplied Implementation:

Tweaklet implementations can be found in the Eclipse Platform incubator.
