RCP product with automatic updates? [message #483392]

Dear RCP folks,

I have exported an RCP product based on the Eclipse IDE and some of my
own features. I have an update site for my own features.
I would like to have my application to be able to update itself from
that update site if new versions are available.

I especially want to predefine my own update site in my app as a default
one such that the user does not have to enter a site manually.
How do I do that?

I entered the update site for all of my custom features in their
feature.xml but still the application says that there are not sites
available.

How do I do it then?

Cheers,
Hauke

Moin Hauke,

I believe this wiki entry might help you:
