[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Programmatically Update RCP Feature

[cgs.schaefer@xxxxxxxxx (Christian Schaefer)]

hi 

we use eclipse 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 for our Rich Client Application. 
until now we simply exported a product and installed it fully.

Now we need to update some features when the program starts automatically, 
without any User-Interface. 

we simply want do to somthing like this: updateFeature(featureID, 
remoteURL)

We tried to use P2 and downloaded the P2Utils example to try it.
We did the recommended getBundle starts as described in the samples.

in eclipse 3.4.1 w get null for the profile
in eclipse 3.4.2 we get null already for the profile Registry.

since all the api from old update is depricated, and the p2utils api used 
is discourage for usage, and i do not find that all very complex. i need 
help.

I simply whant do update a feature from my remote site, as simple as 
possible!
Can anyone tell us what we can do to get this up and running quickly ?

thanks!


IProfileRegistry profileRegistry = (IProfileRegistry) 
ServiceHelper.getService(context, IProfileRegistry.class.getName());
       if (profileRegistry == null)
           return false;
IProfile profile = profileRegistry.getProfile(IProfileRegistry.SELF);
       if (profile == null)
           return false;
