Hi all,

I am new to RCP. We have an application written in language other than
Java. At the moment, we can change a file and copy it out to the client
machine. The client system will pick up the change on the fly without
restart the system. Can RCP do the same thing? How easy is it to update
a already deployed RCP application and how? Can anybody shed some light
on it please?

Cheers
HS

It's done through the update manager and features. The update manager
will download the new features/plugins, and then when the user restarts
they get new code.

A little dated, but please see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/The_Official_Eclipse_FAQs# Plug-In_Development_Environment
and relevant information in Help>Help Contents>Platform Plug-in
Developer Guide (and the PDE guide).

Later,
