Its been a long while but I felt like adding my 2 cents here.
I've been checking MMOUI every month or so to see if there is any change or improvement.
The "Version detection" issue has been around for more than a year if I can remember. I'm not saying it is easy, I'm just saying the game uses a .toc file and honestly that should be the base. If the authors don't use it like that even WoW won't detect it properly. Blizzard has a standard, focus on that standard and the authors should follow.
C, Java, who cares? Java allows your devs to write a single code maybe with one or another tweak and have it running on multi-platforms. Want a native client? Sure, create it and maintain it. The client is not a "right", it is a "privilege", remember that.
Another thing people said is that they wanted a client to check several sites. Cool, there you have it, Minion. It was written to support modules. All you have to do is create a Curse module and it will check it. It is on the client's site, check the docs there.
Anyway, what I end up doing due to the version checking issue is:
- Run Curse, update
- Run MMOUI, note the addons it lists for updates
- Manually check each addon listed by MMOUI
- Update those that indeed have a new version
