[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: UpdateManager vs. P2

[Laurent Marchal <lmarchal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

P2 seems much more complicated than the 'old' update manager.
It's hard to find documentation, hard to understand what are all those 
p2* plugins..

I found some useful doc here : 
http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2008/06/example-headless-build-for-rcp-product.html

And in the wiki : http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:Equinox_p2
