Packages contain the components of Identity Manager drivers organized according to the functionality you want to provide to a driver. This allows you to update the features of a driver without updating the entire driver.
Packages can be imported into a project and are stored under the Package Catalog.
Packages are easy to install, uninstall, upgrade, and revert to
a shipping configuration of the driver.
Refer to the "Managing Packages"
section in the Designer 4.0 Help or the Designer 4.0 Administration Guide for more details.
Designer 4.0 checks for package updates at startup. You can configure online updates in the Windows > Preferences > Novell > Package Manager > Online Updates page.
You can manually import the updated packages into the project or configure Auto Import by clicking Windows > Preferences > Novell > Package Manager > Auto Imports.
