I've built an RCP application with the ability pull software updates from an eclipse update site. When the update runs, it makes a GET request to the update server at least twice for every file needed for update. Here's the apache access log for a single invocation of UpdateManagerUI.openInstaller(...) xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:08 -0400] "GET /site.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 800 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:08 -0400] "GET /features/com.mycompany.myapp_1.0.1.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 31572 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:08 -0400] "GET /features/com.mycompany.myapp_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 38501 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:08 -0400] "GET /site.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 800 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:08 -0400] "GET /site.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 800 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:09 -0400] "GET /site.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 800 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:09 -0400] "GET /site.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 800 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:09 -0400] "GET /site.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 800 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:55 -0400] "GET /plugins/com.thirdparty.nativelibsplugin_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 886687 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:55 -0400] "GET /features/com.mycompany.myapp_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 38501 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:55 -0400] "GET /plugins/com.mycompany.myapp_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 1530999 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:40:02 -0400] "GET /plugins/com.thirdparty.nativelibsplugin_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 886687 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:40:02 -0400] "GET /plugins/com.mycompany.myapp_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 1530999 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:39:55 -0400] "GET /features/com.mycompany.myapp_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 38501 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:40:02 -0400] "GET /plugins/com.thirdparty.nativelibsplugin_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 886687 xx.xx.xx.xx - - [17/Aug/2005:09:40:02 -0400] "GET /plugins/com.mycompany.myapp_1.0.2.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 1530999 The site.xml is pulled 6 times, the others are pulled 2 or 3 times. And this is with the UpdateJob constructed with the download boolean argument set to false. If I set it to true, the feature jar files are each pulled one extra time. NOTE: I've changed the IP address in the log to 'xx.xx.xx.xx'. I'm running the update programatically from an Action class with this code in the Action.run() method: final Shell myShell = MyAppPlugin.getInstance().getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell(); UpdateJob updateJob = new UpdateJob("My App Update Job", true, false); try { // Use of plugin_customization.ini to set location of update policy // as described in documentation does not appear to work, so // set the update policy url here. updateJob.getSearchRequest().getScope().setUpdateMapURL(new URL("http://xx.xx.xx.xx/update.policy")); UpdateManagerUI.openInstaller(myShell, updateJob); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { MessageDialog.openError(myShell, "Unable to update software", "Malformed update policy url"); } Again, I've changed my IP address to 'xx.xx.xx.xx'. The update URL defined in my feature.xml is set to an unresolvable hostname to make sure update wasn't hitting multiple sites looking for updates. Also (possible second issue), the documentation talks about putting an entry in plugin_customization.ini to set the update policy URL. I was unable to get this to work at all.
