Don't expect miracles here, don't expect solutions to world's problems. It is more likely that I will ask [myself] questions looking for a always elusive answer.

Are there any updates available for Carbide.c++ ?

The banner above is obviously not reflecting the reality anymore. Carbide might have reached an intermediary finish line but that does not mean that it stopped running :)

As you might know Carbide.c++ is able to search for software updates and when found download and install them. The process is however manual and you there are no update available notifications so the question that immediately comes to mind is: "Are there any updates available for Carbide.c++ ?"

This blog post is the answer to that question. As long as everything goes well with the Yahoo! Pipes script I've put together, the Flash RSS reader below will display the latest version information for Carbide.c++'s features. Since it only looks for information about the Carbide.c++ plug-ins and does not scan all the other repositories this solution is definitely faster than a regular scan for updates from the IDE.



Important note: before you start updating make sure that you read carefully the upgrade instructions from Carbide's help. The basic idea is that " ... Replacing any standard Eclipse plug-in with an updated version from a non-Nokia update site can result in Carbide.c++ no longer working as intended. ... "

One thing for you to do now: bookmark this page so you can check on it every now and then. That of course unless you would prefer to use Widsets and get your notifications on the phone. If so, just click on the button below:

Yeah, but you still need to manually check the versions of the components you have installed. So in this case, it's faster to just do update from Carbide itself, isn't it?

That process it really slow as it goes through all the possible repositories and mirror selection. As for identifying the update one would only have to remember the version of the IDE build, the rest will follwo :) That's why the Google gadget is only showing the IDE version.
