Eclipse Startup Sequence and Software Auto Updates [message #289688] Tue, 09 August 2005 22:27

I am using Eclipse to host a rich client application built with SWT. When
Eclipse starts up it loads the plugins, then it does a check for software
updates. The problem with this is that when one of the plugins fail (and
cause Eclipse to crash) it is unable to install the auto software updates.

Is it possible to chnage this sequence so that the first thing Eclipse
does is look for auto updates? (I know that this may not be possible
because it needs to load its plugins in order to do the auto updates, but
is there any way to have control over our own custom plugins to only get
loaded after the auto updates).

My details are as follows:
In plugin.xml I have a plugin defined, and when this is invoked it
chrashes. In order to implement the fix for this crash, I need to issue a
software update to all the Eclipse clients. But because it crashes before
this update can occur, I cannot issue thge update.

Any advise or further insight welcome. Thanks
