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 Comments

I 'assume' you need to update the version numbers in the plugin definition files.
