Re: [p2-dev] adding self-update to an RCP app

[Susan Franklin McCourt <susan_franklin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Ian...

Most of the detailed info on that page regarding the bundles is talking about how to customize the UI. It assumes you've already figured out the first part (adding the core, etc.), which unfortunately is not as well documented right now (we just point to Kai's blog)...

I will update the UI customization part to mention the user.ui feature, but in general, if you are customizing the UI, you are working in bundles because you aren't adopting the SDK UI "as is."

Susan,

The information on the wiki says to add 2 plug-ins to get p2. However, in reality you need a lot more than this (ECF, p2 core, etc...).  Is it better to structure this around features, and provide a feature for users to build their RCP application around?

cheers,
ian

A while back, I added a wiki page to collect documentation on how to add p2 self-updating to an RCP app.
For the nuts and bolts, I currently point to Kai Toedter's blog page on this item. I'm hoping someone might take the time to add some info into the doc.

Recently, I added information about how to configure what UI is shown for p2 inside such an app.
