Thx. We will definitely take a look at it.
Is your code already in the eclipse ipzilla pipeline? Would you have the
ipzilla number?

For Summer of Code this year I worked on a project [1] that would
allow for the update URL to be passed to an Eclipse instance (from
either an external or internal browser) without the need for a native
application. I've also implemented a first attempt at support for
dealing with multiple instances (the way this works is outlined on the
wiki).
In theory, if one were to create a command(via the platform command
framework) that provides the update functionality, a link could be
placed on a site to simplify the update process as follows
http://localhost:34567/?command=installUpdate&location=http://someUpdateURL/
For anyone interested in test driving the project there's an update
site listed on the wiki.
