Hi Bernard,

When you go with "Search for updates
of the currently installed features"  we pick up sites from <url><update
.../></url> in feature.xml. So, one way to go around this is make
sure that in v1.2.2 you have update url specified and upgrade this one
time using "Search for new features to install". Or you can include
this feature in update of some other feature that has update url defined
and use "Search for updates
of the currently installed features".
You can still define update url in v1.2.2 of problematic feature to make
sure it that in feature you can update it independently.

Subject	[platform-update-dev] Feature.xml entries for update support - odd        behaviour

Dear all,
We're using Eclipse 3.1.0 and about to upgrade
to 3.1.1 on Windows XP (also Linux/Solaris).
We have a feature plugin which was recently
refactored and a new version was produced. We've placed it on our internal
local update site, but the odd thing about it is that instead of appearing
as an automatic update to the same feature already installed (previous
version was 1.2.0, this version is 1.2.2, ids are the same), it ONLY appears
when invoking Help/Software Updates/Find and Install/Search for new features
to install. The only difference between this feature and other features
that we develop and put on the update site is that it is missing the <url><update
.../></url> section in feature.xml - is this what would be causing
this behaviour ? Could you point me to the relevant package/class which
handles this update logic so we can fully understand the process ?
Thanks
Bernard Cena
