Updating Eulumdat Tools finally works
I finally managed to create a version of Eulumdat Tools RCP where you can do check for updates and actually install the updates.
To get to this screen select menu
Help then
Check for Updates.
This means that checking for updates and actually doing them will take a lot less time. No need to reinstall the full package anymore, just upgrade the parts affected.
Make it automatic
You can make cheking for updates automatic by choosing
Window/preferences (on Mac
Eulmdat Tools RCP/Preferences) and choosing
Instal/Update and then
Automatic Updates and enabling them.
Please note that you have to download complete RCP versions once more for update to work for
Windows XP,
Windows Vista/7.0,
Linux GTK on x86,
Linux GTK on x86 (64-bit),
Max OSX (Snow Leopard 32 bit) or
Max OSX (Snow Leopard+ 64 bit).
