NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND SMART UPGRADE

Understanding the Eclipse update site
An Eclipse update site is a repository for features and plug-ins and it follows a standard format. The IBM® Lotus® Notes® installer uses the update site directory zip file UPDATESITE.ZIP, which contains a features subdirectory and plugins subdirectory, as well as a SITE.XML registry. The SITE.XML registry lists all features that are published from the update site.

For Lotus Notes install, Eclipse update site content must adhere to these conventions:

All features must be packaged in JAR files (one per feature) and placed in the "features" subdirectory (updateSite.zip\features).
All plug-ins must be packaged in JAR files (one per plug-in) and placed in the "plugins" subdirectory (updateSite.zip\plugins).
Published feature IDs must reside in the SITE.XML registry (updateSite.zip\site.xml).
