Hi Dorian,
Thanks for the response. We are rolling our own
pre-packaged install of eclipse ide. You can set the update policy url but what
do you mean by "plugin customisation properites file"?
Miles
I think there is a plugin preference
that you can set to configure the update policy url. This would work as long as
developers install your own "pre-packaged" version of eclipse, that contains
your own plugin customization properties file. -Dorian

If you want the updates to be redirected to your sites you can:
--
proxy
-- use update policy .
Update policies are a bit arcane, but check
the
doc.
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc
.user/tasks/tasks-37.htm
Note
that the standalone update generates a policy for you based on the
parameters
you give (the new update site URL)... but the proble is how
to distribute
that policy?
It has to be installed on each desktop....
Or possibly
packaged as a bundle and deliver with update ? ;-)
The proxy does not have
this problem.

Unless you controlled exactly what was initially
installed, you cannot
really control what will be
updated.

[platform-update-dev] Creating internal mirrors of core
eclipseupdate
sites
Hi All,
I am in charge of creating a preconfigured
internal release of eclipse
3.2 for my company. Once developers have
installed the baseline product
I would like to use the update manager to
handle *all* enhancements (via
feature installs) and updates (to the core
platform and Callisto
features).
I have read the docs on controlling
the eclipse update
policy
(http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.do
c.user/tasks/tasks-37.htm).
Do you think it is necessary to create
internal proxies for the core sites
installed by default in 3.2
('Callisto Discovery Site' and 'The Eclipse
Project update site')? Does
anyone have any experience of doing this? I would
be especially
interested in hearing about the process by which you detect,
install,
test and then expose updates to your company via the proxies. (We
have a
number of home grown and vendor features that would need
regession
testing with all updates before enterprise wide
relase.)
Best
rgds,
Miles
