Thanks Emilian, I was able to use that class as the outline of an
auto-updater-and-restarter mechanism in my client.
I am not really sure what is going on inside all of the InstallSupport,
OperationContainer and UpdateElement stuff, but I now have effectively
the same behaviour as the Java Web Start application which my Platform
client is ultimately replacing.
Thanks

That UpdateHandler seems to be the right thing.
Making a rolling release Platform app sounds the kind of use case we
should support out of the box (maybe even for the IDE?)
I haven't looked much into this (other that using that class you
found) but there are some odd corner cases too study: I remember I had
an app kinda looping after I killed it right before it wanted to
restart for the auto-update. Worked rather flawlessly other than that
though, so don't worry too much about it.

Hi all,
I am keen to follow the way of "pushing" updates to my NB platform
app, that Geertjan and Jiri Rechtacek described a few years ago,
in their blog posts and which is referred to in several other places.
https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/how-to-push-netbeans-plugins-silently-to-end-users
https://www.pellissier.co.za/hermien/?p=496
However Jiri's blogpost with details of his plugin and technique
seems to have disappeared. Can anyone point me to where I can find
that plugin or details/example code to make this happen?
Searching for Jiri himself, I came across the WakaTime netbeans
plugin - is this the same/similar thing?
https://github.com/wakatime/netbeans-wakatime/blob/master/src/org/wakatime/netbeans/plugin/UpdateHandler.java
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Mark
