Re: very stupid question about lookup

Hi,
here is how to make global updates and updates into a custom target
cluster/folder work in a NetBeans Platform application:
1. Set nbm.is.global=true and/or nbm.target.cluster="yourtargetcluster"
2. Create an instanceof
org.netbeans.spi.autoupdate.AutoupdateClusterCreator as a service provider.
Unless you have an appropriate AutoupdateClusterCreator service in your
platform application, these properties have no effect and all updates will
always be installed in the user dir! Unfortunately, this is poorly
documented.
The easy way to create one such AutoupdateClusterCreator was for me to
adapt the source file of the default IDE implementation (
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/file/37a3793b7675/updatecenters/src/org/netbeans/modules/updatecenters/resources/NetBeansClusterCreator.java
)
to my own needs. Basically, all you have to do is replace one file name:
"netbeans.clusters" must become "yourbrandingappname.clusters". You'll find
the respective file in "install-dir/etc" of your application.
