Questions tagged [update-site]

Eclipse Software Sites (aka "update sites" aka "p2 repositories") are the storage format for delivering updates and new features to Eclipse-based applications.

Eclipse "software sites" are the storage format for delivering updates and new features to Eclipse-based applications. Software sites are still most commonly referred to by their old name "update site".

Technically, there are two formats for software sites:

  • The "update site" format used by the former Eclipse Update Manager.
  • "p2 repositories" introduced by Equinox p2

The formats are compatible, so a software site can be both an update site and a p2 repository.
