Hi all,
I have created an update site, that based on a username and a password
generates a site.xml and also the feature.jar on the fly. This all works
fine, and the features install correctly.
The problem I am facing is that only the latest version of a feature is
shown in the list of updates. I have removed the checkmark in "Show the
latest version of a feature only", but that doesn't make a difference.
I can see that Eclipse only requests the latest feature.jar and not any of
the previous versions, even though none of them are installed. I cannot see
what my problem is. I have tried to make the file look exactly like one
Eclipse itself uses.
Below is attached the site.xml file. In my site.xml, there are some versions
that are Beta or Alpha versions, and I want users to have the option of not
choosing an unstable version, but a stable release version. That isn't
possible if they are only presented with the latest version by Eclipse.
My question is, why do I only see the latest feature version and not all
versions?
Thanks in advance,
JP

I found out what the problem was. Only the latest version of the feature.jar
files were available for download, so eclipse wasn't able to determine the
older versions.
All the best
