Hi All...

My update action code is like...

public void run() {
BusyIndicator.showWhile(window.getShell().getDisplay(),
new Runnable(){
public void run() {
UpdateJob job = new UpdateJob("Searching for Updates", false, false);
UpdateManagerUI.openInstaller(window.getShell(), job);
}

});
}

and I am getting error like

"Errors while parsing update policy [The entity name must immediately
follow the '&' in the entity reference.]
The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.
"

the log entry...

I guess either your platform.xml or your your site.xml is not a well
formed XML. Can you check that?

My site.xml is simple,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site>
<category-def name="OMS" label="OMS Features"/>
<feature
url=" features/com.touchpoint.pharma.outlet.claims.feature_1.0.0.j ar "
id="com.touchpoint.pharma.outlet.claims.feature" version="1.0.0">
<category name="OMS"/>
</feature>
</site>

I don't know where is the errorrrr?

Still I can't fix the error. The site.xml is created by the eclipse, and
it does not accepting external validations. As far as I know it's well
formed.

Any other crack?
