Re: [platform-update-dev] Auto Install feature Plugin 3.0

["Dorian Birsan" <birsan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look at the org.eclipse.update.core
plugin project in CVS. You could probably use all the packages/classes
in this project on top of 2.1.1.
Start with the org.eclipse.update.internal.standalone.SearchCommand.java.
This class is is used for listing features available on an update site
without running the eclipse workbench (refer to this doc for how to use
it: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/doc/working/documentation/standalone_update.html).
Getting the feature count should be
just one extra line of code.

Hi,

Yes, Dorian you are very correct, I am attempting to write a 
plug-in which will facilitate Auto Installation feature at 
startup. I think this feature is not planned for eclipse next 
release. Pl. correct me if I am wrong.

I can contribute the same if required. But for that I need to do 
hardwork understanding eclipse framework, architecture and SWT 
rules - for which I am ready. Today, atleast I could manage to get 
a helloworld dialog box on startup, but soon I would be effective 
and contributing !! :-)

I now want to show how many new features are available on 
sites...I am looking at 3.0.0 M2 source code...too many java 
files...and trying to find out a function which I can call and get 
the new features count /(something like that) so that I can 
display count....and then after I would like to just pass the 
control to Install/Update wizard on Third Page (if it is possible) 
to show the available new features automatically...I dont know how 
much of this will be possible by refering existing code in my 
plugin..Any guidelines / doc in this direction would be very 
helpful...otherwise I think I have to browse thru code...

Pl. give your ideas..and let me know if I am a qualified 
contributor..I know my questions uptil now were very silly and can 
really not impress you....but...there are many stories behind 
it....sometimes later....for now my target is to get Auto Install 
working....:-)

thanks for your help.
