hi..
we are currently in the process of upgrading from eclipse 3.0 to 3.5.1, in the previous release the entire eclipse directory was shard in one folder, (including a main custom plugin) and each user had it's own workspace in the network.
i maintained, that an eclipse install should be placed in each user's machine, and the custom plug-in be updated using the update manager from an internal http server (being configured automatically) this way users could revert back to previous plug in version, in case of a problem.
this would also save resources as machine won't load up hundreds of megabytes each time from the file server.
my questions is this. aside from configuration of update manager to look for updates at an interval time, is there a away an administrator could create an initiated update of the plug-in , whether eclipse runs in users' machines or not?
are there other options for configs i'm missing, ? mind you, there are plans to allow running eclipse outside the organization's intranet.
i've read this as well:

yea, here's the thing, i don't want them even to unzip it.
right now all they have is a short cut to the main install on the network.
i'm kinda torn between 2 conflicting demands. the first is have minimum fuss over install, but that would mean hundrends of mb over the netwok traffic each time they use eclipse. that would also won't work on lan network.
the 2nd, is using local install of all the base plugins, (i'm currently looking for a way to get eclipse without the jdt even) have that install even on the network as readonly, then i re-distribute that install as a cd-rom, for users how are off site, these users would use eclipse off the cd-rom, as it would be exactly they would from a readonly dir at the server
