Disabling Software Updates [message #324634]

Hi,

I am shipping my own RCP application.

Is it possible to disable or even remove Software Updates? Can I add a
capability (org.eclipse.ui.activites) to enable/disable?

Thanks for any info.

I would guess that all update stuff is in the org.eclipse.update*
plugins, so if you don't include them the updater won't be available
from within your RCP application.

Sorry, I don't know about that. What we have done with our RCP based
products is just the other way around: we have downloaded the minimal
RCP package (for each platform) and added our plugins and their
dependencies. Up to now we didn't have any problems with unwanted
plugins.
