Hello,

I've made a fix of a plug-in of an RCP application and I encounter some troubles to make it taken into account, in replacement of the previous one.

The plug-in is a part of a feature.
At the moment to deploy the plugin, I increment its version, e.g. from 1.1.4 to 1.1.5. I also increment the version of the feature as well.

Then, I generate the update-site with the new version of the feature.

Everything works fine and the installation of the new version of the plugin is done properly into the existing RCP application.

But that new version is not used immediately. To do so, I have to remove manually the matching jar of the old plug-in from the plugins directory of the application.

Anybody knows what I should do to fix that problem ?

The target platform is Eclipse 3.4.1

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi

Have you tried to start your application with the option -clean [1]
after the installation of the new version?

Are you using p2 or the old update manager to install the plugins in
your application? Back in 3.4, p2 was new and immature...

Yes, I had tried with the -clean option.

I think it's the old version of the update manager, not p2. Then, I know it may be the reason of the problem but I think it's strange anyway...

I'm not the author of the RCP application. I just try to fix few little bugs (and I'm really not an expert), then before to switch everything into p2 or any other stuff with a more recent platform, I prefer to be sure.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
