[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] RCP and Feature updates

[phiferd@xxxxxxx (Dan Phifer)]

I am trying to write an RCP application that can use the Sotware Updates 
functionality provided by the platform.  I have found very little 
information about the best way to achieve this, since articles tend to be 
about RCP, or about features, but not using features with RCP.  

The only thing I have found that covers this topic directly is here:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.rcp/msg00403.html

Is this the best source of information out there for getting RCP apps to 
use the Software Update functionality?  If so, it seems rather odd that it 
is buried in a thread from Sept 2004.

I was able to create a feature from a plugin, and view it through the 
software update menu option in my RCP app, but when I select the feature I 
get an error that says org.eclipse.ui is required.  Of course, the RCP app 
is running, so org.eclipse.ui IS there.  This seems like a bug, but I 
don't understand exactly what is going on.  

Any savvy RCP devlopers out there want to put together an article that 
builds a simple RCP application and uses the update manager to install a 
plugin?  Please??
