The extensions in the subdirectories of the update folder are used for
testing the online update feature of extensions. The folder such as
simple,
license,
defect, etc. contain extensions which can be installed in OOo. The
corresponding update information file and the update are located on
the extensions.openoffice.org website (cvs: extensions/www/testarea). For example:

desktop/test/deployment/update/simple/plain1.oxt

is version 1 of this extension and it references

http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/simple/update/plain1.update.xml

which in turn references version 2 at

http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/simple/update/plain1.oxt


To have all in one place the update information file and the update are also contained
in the desktop project. They are in the update subfolder of the different test folders.
For example

.../update/simple/update
.../update/license/update
.../update/updatefeed/udpate


The different test folders for the update are also commited in project extensions/www
so that the files can be obtain via an URL. The structure and the contents is about the
same as the content
of desktop/test/deployment/udpate
For example in

extensions/www/testarea/desktop

are the subfolder defect, simple, updatefeed, wrong_url, etc.
they contain the extensions which are installed directly by the Extension Manager.
These folders contain also the update subfolder which contains the update information
and the actual updates.
