| Alternatives to update sites for plugin distribution? [message #36524] |

I want to distribute some plugins but I can't get update sites from
eclipse to work.
Back in the day plugins could be loaded by copying the jar files into
the eclipse plugins directory.
Is that still the case?
I think I can save a lot of time by using ant to zip my plugins and
having users unzip them into the plugins directory. I guess a plugin is
just a zip file with a certain structure. Is that documented?
Thanks,
John.

I guess that this cryptography is from a new thing called "p2"
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started
Has no one else had problems like this? How could I be so special ;-)
At the bottom of the page is a section: "Removing p2". I wonder if this
is what I should ask our users to do?

I get error messages I can't understand, so I can't fix the problems.
