| <H1>Adding a new update site</H1> |
| <p>There are several different ways to add an update site to the list of sites that |
| are used when browsing available software and checking for updates. You must |
| know the Web Site location (URL) of the site that you want to add. To add the site, you |
| may try one of the following procedures: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>You may add the site using the <b>Add Site...</b> dialog. |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.sdk.update")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <b>Help > Software Updates ...</b></a> and select the |
| <b>Available Software</b> page.</li> |
| <li>Click the <b>Add Site...</b> button.</li> |
| <li>If the update site is located on the web, type the Web Site location (URL) |
| of the site into the text box. You may also paste or drag and drop a |
| URL from a web browser.</li> |
| <li>If the update site is in your local file system (including a CD), click |
| <b>Local...</b> to specify the directory location of the site. </li> |
| <li>If the update site is in your local file system but is packaged |
| as a jar or zip file, click <b>Archive...</b> to specify the name |
| of the file.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| <li> You may drag and drop the site URL from a browser into one |
| of the following drop targets: |
| <ol> |
| <li>The <b>Available Software</b> page</li> |
| <li>The <b>Manage Sites...</b> dialog </li> |
| <li>The <b>Location</b> text field in the <b>Add Site...</b> dialog.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| <li>On some platforms, you may be able to drag and drop a local directory |
| or archive file from the file system into the same locations.</li> |
| </ul> |
