How to add new features MANUALLY? [message #332282]

Ok I could use the menu help-Software Updates->Find and install...
to add/update new features to an Eclipse installation.

However is there a way to add/update features manually?

Assume I have downloaded a *.zip file with a new feature.
Can I simply extract it to the Eclipse directory tree?
Is the new feature automatically recognized by a running Eclipse
or do I have to re-boot Eclipse?

Do I have (in addition to the copy operation) "register" somewhere the new/update feature
or does Eclipse recognize the add/update feature automatically?

Do I have to extract only the "plugin" sub-folder or the "features" sub-folder as well?
