How to update an Eclipse Plugin?
I wrote an Eclipse (RTC) plugin using this document:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/extendingrtc/entry/checksummaryadvisor?lang=en
When I modify the plugin (update site) and try to update the plugin on the target system, it says there are no updated available. So, I end up uninstalling the plugin, restart RTC, install plugin and restart RTC again, which is very painful and time consuming.
Do I need to change the version number or something else every time I modify the plugin and I want to update the plugin on the target?
Thanks

One answer
to improve performance, Eclipse caches the plugins in loads the first time, until you tell it otherwise..
if you use
eclipse -clean
to start up, it will reload all the plugins again
same as having to tell the RTC server to reload all its plugins on next restart
https://server:port/ccm/admin/requestReset
