Hi NG!
Could someone please tell me, whether the update mechanism in eclipse 3.0 is
only able to update certain plugins or whether it can be used to update the
whole eclipse-platform?
I know that the update of a plugin works well, but what if you want to
update the update plugins themselves? Is that possible? What if the
startup.jar or the eclipse.exe or custom starter changes? Can you update
these, too? Or do you have to update everything by hand, before even
starting the rcp application?
Has anyone done this work yet?
Thanks for your answers in advance!

yes, but it may be a bit slow.
For a try, here is an update test site:

No, these cannot be updated, as they're locked by the running process
(eclipse.exe).
