But It is having two versions. Here the problem is update site should allow one version. But it allows both versions to Install. so what needs to be do to enable that feature? Hi,

For this I have created two plugin.xml of intro plugin i.e. plugin.xml for win32 and plugin_unix.xml for unix and have done changes in build so that plugin_unix.xml will be bundled as plugin.xml for unix installers and win32 specific plugins get bundled in win32 installers only. For above scenario I want to support auto-upgrade feature of eclipse using update site. I have decided to create three feature viz., com.core.feature, com.unix.feature and com.win32.feature. where unix and win32 feature will depend on core feature, core feature will include platform independent plugins, unix feature will include intro plugin where plugin_unix.xml is renamed to plugin.xml and win32 feature will include win32 specific plugins and intro plugin. <strong>In unix installer core and unix feature will get bundle and in win32 installers core and win32 feature will get bundle. </strong> Now I want to create a update site project using which I can refer different intro plugins in unix and win32 feature i.e. location of two intro plugin will be different and it should be refer by unix and win32 feature correctly so that unix specific plugin should not get updated in win32 and vice versa. Here main concern is that both intro plugin will have same name hence cannot be place them in <strong>update_site_project/plugins</strong> folder hence location should be different and if locations are different then unix and win32 feature should refer correct plugin while update. Hopefully, problem must have clear. Waiting for positive reply. Please send the reply to Jayesh_ecs@yahoo.co.in email address. Thanks in Advance, Jayesh M.

I have five plugins and out of these two plugins are win32 platform specific and one plugin is intro plugin which depends on rest 4 plugins on win32 and on two platform independent plugins on unix platforms. For this I have created two plugin.xml of intro plugin i.e. plugin.xml for win32 and plugin_unix.xml for unix and have done changes in build so that plugin_unix.xml will be bundled as plugin.xml for unix installers and win32 specific plugins get bundled in win32 installers only.

For above scenario I want to support auto-upgrade feature of eclipse using update site. I have decided to create three feature viz., com.core.feature, com.unix.feature and com.win32.feature. where unix and win32 feature will depend on core feature, core feature will include platform independent plugins, unix feature will include intro plugin where plugin_unix.xml is renamed to plugin.xml and win32 feature will include win32 specific plugins and intro plugin.

In unix installer core and unix feature will get bundle and in win32 installers core and win32 feature will get bundle.

Now I want to create a update site project using which I can refer different intro plugins in unix and win32 feature i.e. location of two intro plugin will be different and it should be refer by unix and win32 feature correctly so that unix specific plugin should not get updated in win32 and vice versa.

Here main concern is that both intro plugin will have same name hence cannot be place them in update_site_project/plugins folder hence location should be different and if locations are different then unix and win32 feature should refer correct plugin while update.
