Abstract
The Eclipse update manager is a powerful framework to publish bundles of plug-ins (known as features) to an update site so that clients can download and install them directly into an RCP application. Couple this with the possibility of building plug-ins automatically outside the workbench (also known as a headless build), and you have a complete solution to automate distribution of your RCP application.
