Hi,

Discovered that in the Install/Update perspective I can give a URL under
feature updates: http://update.eclipse.org

And then update my eclipse from the choices shown.

However is it not possible to download the jars and host a local Eclipse
Update site ?
I ask this because if all team members (above 20 in my case) start
connecting to the net to do basically the same thing - update Eclipse. It
would mean a huge wasteage of band width and time.
Would prefer that one person download the required jars and then host a
website locally (on Tomcat maybe) configured the way
Eclipse-Update-Manager expects, team mebers can update more easily and
quickly.

PS: May be this question belongs to a different eclipse forum, but I could
not decide which, so posted it here, so pls excuse.

(This probably should be in eclipse.platform rather than
eclipse.tools.jdt... but since we're both here...) I haven't tried it in
a while, but I think you can add URLs (including file: URLs) to the
update manager. Then you can update from a local file instead of having
to go out to the net.
