"Available Software Sites" preferences

I have MoSync 2.6. I see that there is now a 2.7, so I tried using the "Check for Updates". It says "There are no update sites to search. Do you wish to open the "Available Software Sites" preferences?", so I say yes. I do not know what to use for the Available Software Sites preference.

Hi,

"Check for Updates" does not update any MoSync specific software.

We built the MoSync IDE on top of Eclipse, and this menu item will open an Eclipse specific update dialog. This will enable you to download other Eclipse (ie non-MoSync) plugins such as SVN support, scripting language support etc. We kept this as a compromise since some people wanted to be able to do this, but I guess we should rename/reorganize or something to avoid confusion.

Thank you.

Your explanation makes sense and yes it is confusing. I hope the explanation here helps others too.
