Eclipse + Webstart
This is horrible to integrate Eclipse RCP with Webstart Technology. Someone posted an example in the sourceforge for this integration. But he didn’t speak out there is some problem in the example. Anyways I need to say thank you for his demo.
Here is an issue talking about the RCP Webstart update.

Refer from their discussion. You can install an Eclipse RCP application through Webstart but you cannot update your Eclipse RCP application.
And this bug talked about 2 years.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=48416
At the end they said:
- plugins installed by JNLP can't be updated by Update and vice-versa
- features are not deployed through JNLP and if they were they would not be
found by update manager (bug #99039). Therefore only features that do not
require features installed from JNLP can be installed, which may sound like a
big restriction but is in fact not :).
