14.5. Summary

This chapter went into detail about how to create builders, markers, and natures. Builders execute in response to resource changes within a project. Builders can create new, derived resources or tag existing resources with markers. Markers are used to tag locations within a resource, while natures are used to tag entire projects and configure any associated builders.
