Create an update site in Rational Application Developer

All of the recommended mechanisms suitable for custom IBM Sales Center extension deployment and service depend on packaging those extensions as Eclipse update sites. This section explains how to create an update site in Rational Application Developer.

Once you create a feature project in Rational Application Developer an update site can be created in RAD:


Procedure

  1. Click New and Update site project from the list of Plug-in development project types.

  2. Enter a name for the site project and click Finish.

  3. The site.xml editor will open. Click Add and select a feature.

  4. Right click on the feature and select Publish. The instructions say to drag, but right-click is more reliable.

  5. Click the Build all button in the editor. Unlike most projects in RAD, update site projects are not built automatically nor can they be built from Build actions in the project menus. Only the button in the site.xml editor will build the site.

  6. In the Package Explorer, right click on the newly created update site project and select Export to export resources to the local file system.

  7. Choose File system as the target and enter a path.
