Hi,

I'd like to know if there is any howto or documentation how one could
write his own update manager (with the purpose of installing/updating
features without any user-interaction)?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm not quite comfortable with using
classes from org.eclipse.update.internal, but I have to if I don't want
to just copy these codes into my own classes.

Also installing works, but is executed even if the features are already
installed and updating doesn't quite work.

Hi,

Problem is: I don't want to integrate the Eclipse Update Manager into my
app, as I want non-ui automatic updates/installation of features.

maybe i'm wrong, but i think this is accomplished by using a
plugin_customization.ini and three or four entries triggering automatic
update on startup.

Is there documentation about this anywhere?

I guess this doesn't involve automatic installation of new features?

The API in org.eclipse.update.core (operations,search,standalone)
doesn't give you enough control? I believe its intention was to allow
exactly what you want to do.
