Hi all,
I can't seem to get the update functionality to work properly
1) If I try and remove a site,which I added myself, from the list of updates
site it is not removed.
2) If I try and edit a site which I added from the list of site to check for
updates it is not deleted.
The support for the update functionality seems flaky. I don't have time to
keep up with the manual installations of new versions of plugis/features
etc. I usually end up just reinstalling eclipse as the updater inevitably
messes up my installation. Admittedly it is usually when I try some third
party plugin/feature.
Why don't all the eclipse projects offer update sites?

Even if just 1 site url has problems, that entire update is not working.
Check them all.

Feature projects provide update site url and plugin in same time. These
site urls are not mainternanced manually. So if you added manually and
used update, Features are installed and it will configure site settings
automatically. That's why.

Update site project requires also feature project not only plugin.
Feature project provides more structure and It's good for big project.
but without automation tools, mainternancing of feature project is too
annoying. I think that's reason.
