Re: Plug-in update
I never stated that I'll refuse to update SweetHome3DUpdates.xml for contributed plug-ins, and I don't understand how you can conclude that I programmed this feature for me exclusively since I even didn't use it myself! It wasn't possible for enkonyito's plug-in when he made his comment, because he didn't set any ID in the previous version of his plug-in (I was also on vacation at the end of November and forgot to answer here when I got back).

There's no information about this ID in the Plug-in developer's guide because the update warning was added afterwards.

What about an optional updateUrl in the ApplicationPlugin.properties, which points to an URL that uses the same or a similar DTD?
That's a nice idea but not so easy to program because it would require to merge the update information to display only one dialog box to the user. I fear also that it could be a way to spam users with messages I couldn't control.
