How to update an RCP app [message #328340]

Hi all,

I have this problem. I was asked to create an updater for an RCP
application. Basically, when selecting some menu item the application should
connect to a site and get a newer version. It shouldn't be so complicated as
the Update Manager, but only presenting a list with different version of the
application and, when selected, download the archive...

Any idea of how can I do this? Please, help!

Thanks,

Floppy

Hi,

as you said you can use the update manager in your RCP application to
automatically update the application. you have to create features and
updates sites fo the update manager to work.
Then you can restrict the update manager to only show your RCP features
