hi..

we are currently in the process of upgrading from eclipse 3.0 to 3.5.1, in the previous release the entire eclipse directory was shard in one folder, (including a main custom plugin) and each user had it's own workspace in the network.

i maintained, that an eclipse install should be placed in each user's machine, and the custom plug-in be updated using the update manager from an internal http server (being configured automatically) this way users could revert back to previous plug in version, in case of a problem.

this would also save resources as machine won't load up hundreds of megabytes each time from the file server.

my questions is this. aside from configuration of update manager to look for updates at an interval time, is there a away an administrator could create an initiated update of the plug-in , whether eclipse runs in users' machines or not?

are there other options for configs i'm missing, ? mind you, there are plans to allow running eclipse outside the organization's intranet.

i've read this as well:
