That's great!

If later editions of the book maintain backwards compatibility with older
editions, you can have a single update site that simply ships the latest
version of the plugins, and it should work with older editions of the book.
But it sounds like later editions are not backwards compatible, in which
case multiple update sites are the recommended solution. E.g., you could
have ImagingBook-1, ImagingBook-2, etc. numbered according to the editions.
As an example: I maintain an OMERO-5.0 update site with tools for
connecting ImageJ to an OMERO 5.0.x server. But OMERO version 5.1.x is not
backwards compatible, so there will need to be a separate OMERO-5.1 update
site for it.
Alternately, if you have control over the Java package names, you can
instead use a different package name for each edition. But since your book
is already published in several editions and presumably includes code
examples that all use the same Java package names, that solution would not
work for you.

Curtis
