I developed my first eclipse plugin. I first exported the project as a deploybale feature, generating a folder containing: artifacts.jar, content.jar, and the plugins and features folders. I tested the plugin locally by going to "install new software" then specifying the local plugin folder and it works after installation.

Now my question is how to create an online update site (from my local plugin folder) that I can give to other people to test the plugin on their machines?

Thank you in advance.

    The folder containing the `artifacts.jar` file, `content.jar` file and the `plugins` and `features` folders is already an update site which can be copied to a static web server so it can be accessed via HTTP or HTTPS. – howlger Nov 07 '18 at 08:34

Yes, you now need to make that folder available on a web or ftp server and give users that URL that they use when going to eclipse -> install new software where they will paste the URL of your update site that works locally for you.
