15
<p>The New Update Center wizard lets you create
16
a module that registers a <a href="../create_plugin/filelevel_create/about_update_centers.html">update center</a>
17
in the user's Plugins manager. In effect, the module
18
bundles the URL to the update center so that the user does not
19
need to register the URL manually.
20
You open the Update Center wizard by right-clicking a module project,
21
choosing New > Other and selecting Update Center
22
from the Module Development category.
24
<p>In the Update Center Declaration page, you have to set the following:
26
<ul><li><b>URL to Update Descriptor.</b> Specifies the URL to the autoupdate descriptor. <p>You
27
can let the IDE generate the autoupdate descriptor for you; for details, see
28
<a href="../distribute_plugin/generate_autoupdate_descriptor.html">Generating an Autoupdate Descriptor</a>.
29
<li><b>Display Name.</b> Specifies the name that you would like the user to
30
see in their Plugins manager.
