Helios & Update Manager question [message #642660]

Hi all,

I have an RCP app out in the wilds that not long ago moved to Helios. It's using the Legacy Update Manager which I believe should still work as p2 is doing the work under the covers... Anyways I'm seeing a slightly odd problem when testing an update I need to release:

- Update Manage picks up the update fine from the update site, all gets downloaded, however when the app restarts it doesn't restart with the new plugins! It's still running the old ones.

When I look in the About window, Installation Details > Configuration, it's showing the new feature in the "*** Features:" entry.

Any ideas why the correct plugins wouldn't get resolved even though the platform appears to know about the new feature? When I run the update from the previous version of the app (using the 3.4 platform) then the update runs fine so I know the features & update site are OK. So "there's something about Helios"... any suggestions why it's doing this?!

Many thanks in advance for any hep!
Justin

[looing forward to the new p2 Simple Update coming in 3.7..]

I'm probably clutching at straws here... but I see there's an "osgi.bundles" entry in my config.ini.

Strikes me that what is happening is that this is driving the show and that the platform is loading these (OLD) plugins?

Is there a way to force a refresh on this?

Seems like my app is dead in the water and won't now run any updated code. Update Manager is picking up the files but P2 is saying "stuff you"???

Hi, we are facing a similar problem. We are trying to use a plugin that is working in eclipse Galileo but it doesn't work in Helios.

We are trying to use the spring webflow editor with some improvements. To do it work in Galileo we just need to add four plugins. but in Helios we only see two of them in eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator /bundles.info

Helios finds:
org.springframework.ide.eclipse.webflow.core
org.springframework.ide.eclipse.webflow.ui.editor

but it doesn't find:
org.springframework.ide.eclipse.webflow.ui
org.springframework.ide.eclipse.webflow.ui.graph

Should we setup something special in plugin.xml to make Helios to find them?

Should we extend something new in the plugins?

TIA

Mariano
