Hi,

We have replaced the jar which was there in the updatesite with the old style plug-in structure because we were distributing some other jars resulting in some license issues

But our feature.xml is referring to the jar file in the updatesite zip

Is there any way to manage it.?

Regards, Aravind

Aravind,

an updatesite zip (archived update site) and every other update site should contain only jars. If the plug-in needs to be unpacked in the installation, use the unpack=true attribute of this plug-in in the feature manifest.

Regards,

Martin
