Re: [platform-update-dev] Update manager UI on detection of new features
|
I think it is ok if this just works for us on the initial install and run.
Is it not the proper default behaviour that the user gets prompted when an
extension is added to their product?

The -initialize startup will work only on the very first install, getting
all new features picked up automatically (ie. configured by default without
the user prompt ("optimistic reconciliation")). Once you have an
initialized workspace (ie. Eclipse has beed started once) changes are not
automatically configured ... the user is prompted before the changes are
actually configured ("pessimistic reconciliation").
So, whether -initialize will work for you depends on whether the install
you are doing is the initial one, or some subsequent one (eg. adding WSDD
as an "extension" to some existing base).

I think calling "eclipse -initialize -nosplash" would work. It is what we
do for the WSAD installs.

In WSDD we have lots of data that comes with our install/updates that uses
install handlers to lay them down on the users system. Most of these are
not a part of the base install and the user simply uses the update manager
to get them. For the ones that are a part of the base install we are going
to lay down the features with our installer. We have implemented the
completeConfigure() method in our install handlers to deal with completing
the install when Eclipse runs.
The problem with all this is that when Eclipse runs the first time, it
throws the update manager in forint of the user asking him about installing
these new features. Is there a way we can call Eclipse in a headless
fashion at the end of our install to complete this configuration so the
user does not get this cryptic dialog?
