Install 2.3.1 - SDK manager does not update plugin

I have 2 eclipse environments on my pc (they operate in a seperate workspace):
* one with the beta where I installed 2.3.0.beta1
* one with the release where I used 2.2.6 sdk

As 2.3.1 SDK was released I updated my "release" eclipse environment (the one where I had 2.2.6), it pulled in the 2.3.1 succesfully through the SDK manager but this action did not update the plugin which in this case of course meant that the Run No Evil target was not available.

After pulling in the plugin in manually through Help -> Install New Software (searching for all versions and picking the right one)... the run no evil target of course becomes available but I don't see everyone do that.

Preferably when fetching a release through the SDK manager it should pull in not only the requested connect iq version but also the plugin that accompanies that release.

I very rarely use the SDK manager, and usually just pull a new SDK as a .zip from developer.garmin.com so I'm used to checking for a new plugin.

Isn't there an option in eclipse so it will go out and check for updates to things like the plugin every X days and tell you about them? I thought I saw that some place but can't recall where.

Hey,

I've created a ticket as a feature request to see what this might look like. It's not really a bug as it is working as it's designed. Using beta versions can be a little tricky. However, using the SDK manager should be fairly simple regardless of the setup. We can definitely look at what it would look like, if it's feasible, etc. in order for us to more tightly integrate the Plugin updates and the SDK Manager.

Thanks!
