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 simple browsing to http://update.eclipse.org gives a page saying
that it is a special web site, hosted in a way the eclipse update manager
expects.
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.

The bugzilla feature is about having automated tools to let you mirror an
update site (entirely or selecting a subset of the features).
Take a look at the eclipse documentation for how an update site should look
like or use PDE to get started.
