Product update service for Java application.

[Eranga]

Hi all,

I have a complete product developed using Java. Now I try to integrate a most important feature.

Say I have a product update(I mean a new version). I want to notify it for the users. So is there any Java API I can use for this?

Comments appreciate,
Eranga

Hi Eranga,

I did not use this framework but it may help you to do what you want here:

Java Plugin Framework (JPF) - Home

Hmm, seems that page have some interesting details. Better to go through carefully.

Didn't you do such a workout in your application, Java Tip. This is the first time such a thing comes into my mind.

Thanks Java Tip

I am aware that both netbeans and eclipse have such features. I am developing a robotics IDE in my free times. For now, i am concentrating on the core of the system and making it as generic and simple as possible, In the future, i will either use netbeans/eclipse platform or continue with custom swing application way. No matter what i choose, i am sure i will make it a plugin based application. It is useful.

That make sens to me pal. Using puling is really easy to work with. Nice try and best of luck for your works on that pal.
