Change Update-Site of eclipse 3.5-based RCP application [message #713265]

We're distributing a RCP application, which is based on eclipse 3.5. We export it via Eclipse and define the update-site via p2.inf.

It is known, that while running the RCP application it is not possible to change the definitions of the update-site.

But - please - is there a way to change the definition of the update-site via an update?
Like as if we would provide a new p2.inf over the update-site?

Or is the only way to change the definition of the update-site a new export of the product?

Thanks a lot!

Sandra

Hi Sandra,

I think it must be possible in some way. The location of the update site can
be changed manually. So why do you say it cannot be done?

Regards,

Wim

Hi Wim,

I haven't found a way yet to manually change the update site in an rcp application based on 3.5. There seems to be no place to edit them.

How do you do it?

Regards,

Sandra

Hi,

If you put the update site in an external file (that you can later change without rebuilding), I think this should work (it's not necessarily the best way):

RepositoryTracker repositoryManager = ProvisioningUI.getDefaultUI()
				.getRepositoryTracker();
		ProvisioningSession session = ProvisioningUI.getDefaultUI()
				.getSession();
		URI[] existingRepositories = repositoryManager
				.getKnownRepositories(session);
		repositoryManager.removeRepositories(existingRepositories, session);
		repositoryManager.addRepository(repositoryManager
				.locationFromString("theLocationOfTheUpdateSite"),//$NON-NLS-1$
				"Your Update Site", session);//$NON-NLS-1$
