3.4 updating of manual plugins [message #329720] Tue, 01 July 2008 21:42 Go to next message

I have multiple plug-ins that I have put in a common area outside
eclipse, so that I can share my plug-ins via links between multiple
installs and also can disable the easier

CDT
GEF
InstantiationsGUIBuilder
jautodoc
maven
PDT
pydev
QuantumDB
subclipse
WST

In 3.3 these were "extension points" and the update process would
correctly put new updates into their correct external location

with 3.4, the update process ignored my custom locations and threw
everything into the eclipse plugins and features folders.

yuck!

Although it is different from what we're used to, p2 is a lot more
capable. I think if you take the time to educate yourself about how it
works, you'll find a way to accomplish your goals:

Hope this helps,
