-F2 is a simple update manager for Eclipse or Java based applications.
-The F2 update manager has been designed to minimize the network load for consecutive application updates and updates are executed with transactional safety.
-F2 has no dependencies to eclipse scout or any other library. However the installation of f2 is supported by the technology checkbox in Scout SDK (since 3.10).
-If you are new to f2. Check out the tutorial [[Scout/Tutorial/3.10/UpdateWithF2 | tutorial ]] first.
-==F2 Design Goals==
-* Minimal network load for live updates.
-* Move cpu/memory load to "Create" of the updatesite and away from the client "Update"
-* Transactional safety for updates, e.g. commit or rollback
-* No lenience: The update is either done with byte by byte equality or not
-* Support for Windows 7 UAC security
-* Support for multiple platforms such as win32, macosx, etc.
-* Complete automation of updatesite creation and update handling
-* Very easy zip file handling and command line processing
