Hi,
How do you implement an auto-update mechanism for a self written plugin?
My plugin is distributed using the standard eclipse updatesite mechanism.
If there is a newer version available on the update site, I want to
display the user a little "Hey, there is a newer version available, do you
want to update?" dialog with an "Update now" button.
I played around a bit with org.eclipse.update.core.SiteManager but that
didn't look the right way.
Is an OSGI code snipet out there?
Thanks a lot!
Wolf

You can start the update process when a plugin of your is activated. Maybe
in the activator class.
