Hello!
I am trying to update a feature from a local update site (I unzipped a
previously downloaded site) using headless Update Manger (I am using
Eclipse 3.2.2 and am not able to change that right now).

I installed a feature in headless mode from locally created update site
with:

java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application
org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command install -from
file:///c:/UPSITE/myfeature_7.0.1.D071219 -featureId
com.myfeature.feature -version 7.0.1.D071219

Now, when I like to use the update command of headless update manager I
run into error. I unzip the new version of the feature to the previously
used local directory and run update (note that I do not have an Internet
connection)

java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application
org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command update -featureId
com.myfeature.feature -version 7.0.1.D080604

Then it results in the following error:

Connection failed.
Command failed.

Is such a scenario doable with update manager? Does it require an
Internet connection for updating properly or is it a bug?

Would really appreciate your help,
Blazej Kroll

To update to the new version of the feature, you need to have it in an
update site (from a local extracted zip is fine) ... do you, or do you
just have a zip with the feature and plugin?

Once you have the upgrade feature in a site, you might have to use a
policy file to tell the update manager not to go to the feature's
default update site.
