Re: Changing Update Center URL at runtime

Hi,

And what about this...

                 List<UpdateUnitProvider> updateUnitProviders = 
UpdateUnitProviderFactory.getDefault().getUpdateUnitProviders(true);
                 for (int i = 0; i < updateUnitProviders.size(); i++) {
                     UpdateUnitProvider pr = updateUnitProviders.get(i);
                     String name = pr.getDisplayName();
                     if("MyUpdateCenter".equals(name)){
                             pr.setProviderURL(new 
URL("http://example.com/updateCenter"));
pr.refresh(ProgressHandle.createHandle("UpdateCenter refresh"), true);
                             break;
                     }
                 }

> I found the Platform 7 book and I have to say that it's more complete  and has more examples than the other.
> I read the two chapter, in particular the 25th is very interesting for my purpose.
>
> Now I have to work to force installation and dis-installation of modules according to clients settings in my server, and I think I'll ask for more help about this, but we can consider this topic solved.
