Interface Summary

WebUpdateManager

A WebUpdateManager implementation provides access to functionality for getting and installing updates (patches and extensions) into the IDE.

Package oracle.ide.webupdate Description

The webupdate package provides an API for accessing functionality in the IDE related to web-based patching and updating.

The sole interface in this package, WebUpdateManager provides access to the Check for Updates Wizard. Extensions can use this API to invoke the wizard.

Obtain an instance of WebUpdateManager as follows: Ide.getAddinManager().getWebUpdateManager(). Use the invokeUpdateWizard( Component ) method to invoke the update wizard.

The invokeUpdateWizard() method will return a boolean indicating whether a restart is required. If invokeUpdateWizard() returns true, you should prompt the user to shutdown the IDE. An example of this is shown below.

import oracle.ide.Ide;
import oracle.ide.IdeAction;
import oracle.ide.dialogs.MessageDialog;
import oracle.ide.webupdate.WebUpdateManager;

...

private void updateExample()
{
  WebUpdateManager mgr = Ide.getAddinManager().getWebUpdateManager();

  boolean restart = mgr.invokeUpdateWizard( Ide.getMainWindow() );
  if ( restart )
  {
    // Check that the user is happy to shut down first
    boolean doIt = MessageDialog.confirm(
      Ide.getMainWindow(),
      "You need to restart for changes to take effect.\n\nShut down now?",
      "Confirm IDE Shutdown",
      null
    );

    if ( doIt )
    {
      // Shut Down the IDE safely
      Ide.quit(
        IdeAction.find( Ide.EXIT_CMD_ID ),
        Ide.getMainWindow().getContext()
      );      
    }
  }
