+1 this would also allow the plugin to be made available from the Eclipse Marketplace.
Can you provide more details, what should be done? What does "putting zip content online" mean?
If the ZIP file content is made available as a directory on the download site, i.e. with its contents unzipped, then it should be possible to use the remote URL directly as an update site in Eclipse, rather than requiring the user to download, unzip, and add the local directory as the URL.
You can even publish this URL to the Eclipse Marketplace for easier discovery of the plugin.
Thanks for info.
On https://visualvm.github.io/idesupport.html for Eclipse IDE user must first download .zip file, unzip and install from it as p2 repository,
whereas putting zip content online would allow to install the IDE integration without 2 extra steps above.
