+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.
