I've just added two updatechecker plugins to the project set.
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.updatechecker
This is a plug-in that registers an UpdateChecker service, which
you can use to register for notifications when a given profile has updates
available.
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.updatechecker.app
This is a little application that defines arguments for calling
the update checker for a specified profile and a given polling length.
There is a launch config included, for example using the args
-profile Test -poll 10000 -trace
will check the profile whose id is "Test" for updates every 10
seconds.
I'm currently working on using the UpdateChecker service in the UI, but am
still working on the pref pages/policies, etc. But this will let you play
with it in the meantime if you need automatic update checking....
The UpdateChecker is a very naive implementation, so anyone who wants to
optimize it, feel free... ;-)
