Re: How to add NetBeans update center to my NetBeans application updater

Tod,


Is the case that you expect your own app's usage of standard modules to be
updated like its done for the IDE ?

I don't think you can do this without hosting yourself an Update Center for
your app even if you only want to update modules that are part of the core,
i.e. not done by you.

BTW: An Update Center is nothing but a HTTP server and if you are using
Maven then the artifacts that you'll need to host on your HTTP server is
generated for you automatically. So it is not really that much of an effort
once you get the build process running.
