| <h2>Previewing an update site</h2> |
| <p>Update site created by PDE wizard can be previewed in-place using update |
| manager. Of course, the archives that update manager expects must be built first |
| and the update map file must be set up correctly</p> |
| <h3>Example: building and previewing the sample update site</h3> |
| <p>Using the update site created by the 'New' wizard, edit the site map file |
| using the PDE update site editor as follows:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the Description page, define a category as follows: 'sample' for name, |
| 'Sample Category' for label and some free text for the description.</li> |
| <li>In the Build page, press the Add... button in the <b>Features To Build</b> |
| section and check the only feature listed in the wizard (com.example.feature). |
| Press Finish.</li> |
| <li>Once the feature entry appears in the list, check the checkbox.</li> |
| <li>In the Features page, verify that there is an entry named <b> |
| features/com.example.feature_1.2.2.jar. </b>Select it and when 'Sample |
| Category' appears in the list of categories, check it.</li> |
| <li>Save the editor.</li> |
| <li>Switch to the Build page again and press the <b>Rebuild All</b> button. |
| There should be archives appearing in the <b>features</b> and <b>plugins</b> |
| folders at the end of the build.</li> |
| <li>Select Help>Software Updates>Update Manager from the main menu.</li> |
| <li>Drill down from My Computer in the Updates view to the location of your |
| workspace. Your update project should have a distinct update site icon. When |
| you expand it, you should see 'Sample Category' object. When you expand the |
| category, you should see 'Sample Feature'.</li> |
| </ol> |
