Software Update [message #115735]

Hello,
I use Eclipse 3.4, and when I create my RCP, I don't get the same software
management of Eclipse 3.4. I always have the old "Sofware Updates" menu
with "Find and install" and "Manage configuration..." subItems. How can I
get the new management? May I use a extension point?

Thanks for your help,
David.

This is because your application is still configured to use the classic
update manager instead of the new p2 system (as defined in config.ini
file). See this document for getting started with using the new
"Software Update" mechanism (aka p2):

I would suggest checking that you've added the correct
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui* to be deployed with your RCP app. I think one
of the plugins listed below contributes the ui you are looking for. Also,
you may want to remove org.eclipse.update* plugins.

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.admin.rcp_1.0.0.v20080604.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.admin_1.0.0.v20080522-1735.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.sdk_1.0.1.R34x_v20080818.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui_1.0.1.R34x_v20080909.jar

Hope this helps.
