By default there are two update checks enabled in Gentics Portal.Node SDK:
Gentics Portal.Node Update Check: Each time you start Gentics Portal.Node within eclipse it will check for updates by default (see PortalConfiguration).
If new updates are available it will notify you with a console message. You can then either use the Eclipse Update to update manually or visit the Gentics .Node Infoportal.
Eclipse Update Check: Gentics Portal.Node SDK uses a custom Plugin within eclipse which will also check for updates each time you launch eclipse. If a new update is available it will let you know with a small dialog box where you can immediately download the new update.
This update check can be configured in the eclipse preferences: Install/Update.
→ +If you want to manually check for updates or download new updates use: Search for updates of the currently installed features..
→ → +After a update through the Eclipse Update Manager you can verify the successful installation by using the Gentics Portal.Node update check by watching the console output to make sure the 'New Updates are available' message has disappeared.
All update operations work through HTTP, so even if you have no direct Internet access you can configure the Eclipse Update Manager to use an HTTP Proxy.
This can be done in the eclipse preferences: Install/Update Select Enable HTTP proxy connection and enter your HTTP proxy host address and HTTP proxy host port.
