To use update centers in your NetBeans based RCP application, you will have to add a couple of extra libraries so as to enable the 'Auto Update' feature.
Reference:
- Right-Click on your RCP project properties and add the libraries- Auto Update Services and Auto Update UI (under the cluster 'platform9')
- To add update centers to your application, add a new Module to the suite and fill in the usual properties:
- Right-Click on the module just added and create a New > Update Center
- Fill in the description of the Update Center (I have used dummy values here) and Click on Finish
- If you want to add more than one Update Center, just repeat the previous step as many times
- Clean and Build (Why Clean?, Thanks Jan) your RCP and run it. You should see the new update center under Tools > Plugins > Settings
