[news.eclipse.technology.ercp] Re: eUpdate in eRCP Workbench, eUpdate Do

[Ismet Karakaya <ismad@xxxxxx>]

Hi Mark !

the installation process working well after i edit the site.xml with 
<site type="org.eclipse.ercp.update.http">

but after "Confirm Restart" ->
"Restart WED for the changes to take effect" -> Yes or No , i tried both

changes had no effect,
the Plugin have don`t be addet to the List of Applications.
eclipse console has don't thrown exceptions.
i think the eUpdate-client have recieved the plugin because
my Apache (Usage Statistics) have count/increment the hits for my plugin 
/ercpBundles/plugins/eRCPsampleApp.app_1.0.0.jar


is <feature> okey or must i have <plugin> in the site.xml ?
must i have a feature.xml?
the site.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site type="org.eclipse.ercp.update.http">
   <description url="http://localhost/ercpBundles/";>ercp Bundle 
Plugin</description>
   <feature
   		url="plugins/eRCPsampleApp.app_1.0.0.jar"
   		id="eRCPsampleApp.app"
   		version="1.0.0">
	<category name="ercp Bundle Plugin"/>
   </feature>

   <category-def name="ercp Bundle Plugin" label="ercp Bundle Plugin">
      <description>ercp Bundle Plugin</description>
   </category-def>
</site>


Thanks a lot !

Ismet
