build 20020521 1339 I have a product install who's primary feature's feature.xml includes the following update site URL: <url> <update url="http://com.example.company1/myproduct/updates" label="Company One updates for My Product"> </update> <discovery url="http://download.eclipse.org/updates" label="Eclipse Nevada Test Site"> </discovery> </url> 1. open the update manager 2. select "Available Updates" 3. hit search now, Observe: it says "Company One updates for My Product" (presumably opening http://com.example.company1/myproduct/updates, which does not exist). It says "Search in progress..." It never comes back. Expectation: It should fail immediately (IE does). 4. Hit cancel Observe: The "Cancel" button is greyed. But that's it. The search continues. Expectation: The search should be cancelled. (The first time this happened, the only thing I could think of doing was to close the product. I was surprised when it saved the workspace. Later I realized that the search is not modal (but perhaps it show be?).

Search is not modal because it was designed to run in the background and not block the UI. Searching for new upades may take a long time. The search itself is executing on a non-modal background thread and progress indicator is simply updated when there are news to report. Search can run with no UI whatsoever (for example, launched on startup in as a low priority background thread).
