Hi all,
I've got an RCP app that builds and exports and seems to work OK. The
app is small and based on a single feature right now. I followed the
steps in the "eclipse Rich Client Platform" book to add update
capabilities. I added an action that creates an UpdateJob and so on.
I can tell that the code is getting executed.
If I run this app from Eclipse, it tries to update Eclipse, which
isn't, I suppose, all that crazy. However, when I export it and run it
by itself, the code does NOTHING. It always says, "No updates for the
currently installed feature(s), please try again later." I watched the
network with Ethereal and it's not emitting any HTTP requests. It's as
if it doesn't know it has an update site or doesn't know what feature
to try and update.
Also, why do I have a "Software Updates..." menu item in my help menu,
if I'm adding my own "Updates..." menu item?
By the way, the site I'm trying to get it to update from is just
another computer nearby, the name is resolved in my /etc/hosts file to
keep things simple. Later, I'll have a real URL, this is just for
testing.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Software update via the Eclipse mechanism is not as trivial as the good
RCP book explains......
1) Can you post the re-built 'site.xml' that is created after you build
the update site project?
2) You need to increment the version of the feature you wish to update
(from what is installed).
3) The "software updates...." menu item that exists but you didn't
create comes from one of the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin. You
disable/hide that via Activities extension point.

Thanks for everyone's help. I straightened it out. I was putting my
update site in the feature editor under "Sites to visit" rather than
"Update Site URL" (as Mario sort of caught). Silly me...
Thanks for the hint about disabling the Software Updates menu.
