Apache Tuscany Update Site:
---------------------------
The Apache Tuscany Eclipse update site is located under http://tuscany.apache.org/updatesite.
It is based on the Apache Directory Studio update site, with minimal changes.
The Tuscany update site consists of the following files:
+--tuscany.apache.org
|
+--updatesite
|
+--README (this file)
+--java
|
+--sca
|
+--1.6.2 (and later releases)
|
+--.htaccess
+--index.html
+--LICENSE
+--NOTICE
+--site--xml.html
+--site--xml.cgi
+--web
|
+--site.css
+--site.xsl
The update manager of Eclipse and the RCP application automatically tries to
access the site.xml to get new updates or features. Our .htaccess contains
a rewrite rule to forward from site.xml to site--xml.cgi.
The site--xml.cgi just calls Apache's mirrors.cgi to get a list of available
mirrors.
The site--xml.html is a template of the real site.xml. The url of the
preferred mirror determined by the cgi script is applied to this template.
With this trick the update manager always gets a URL to another mirror.
The update manager loads the features and plugins from these mirrors. So
the mirrors must contain the features and the plugins directories.
