Hi,
We want to implement a function to check update our files and jar at startup of the author editor.
What java class can we use it?

Hi Idak,

Could you give us more details?
Do you have a plugin for Oxygen implemented?
A plugin can be bundled as an add-on which would also give update capabilities for the add-on:

Hi Idak,

The update it's detected in oxygen but it doesn't work.

Could you give us more details?
So Oxygen reports that a new update is available for the framework, right?
Does Oxygen try to update the add-on and fail? Does it show an error message of some kind?

Hi,

I restart the Oxygen editor and i get this error :
Please pack the framework root directory not just it's contents.

Hi Idak,

The archive "idak.zip" should contain a single resource in it, a folder called "idak" which in turn should contain the framework resources.

Hi,

My archive "idak.zip" contain a CSS folder and in this folder I have 3 css files.

Regars,
Idak

Hi,

Your archive should contain the entire framework, not just the changed files. The add-on update feature within Oxygen is not incremental, it re-downloads and re-installs all the framework's resources.

Hi,

Can you give me an example to update a DITA resources?

Regards,
Idak

Hi Idak,

You cannot create an add-on site which updates just a couple of resources from a framework.
Your add-on will contain the entire framework directory and all the framework resources will be updated when the add-on is updated.
For example for DITA the add-on would always contain the entire folder:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita

and even if at some point you make changes to only a couple of CSS files, you will still need to pack the entire "dita" framework as the add-on.
