Thank you Austin,

  I had checked out Oomph before and I believe it doesn't fit my use case (or I didn't understand how to do it). I don't want clients to have to launch oomph and choose our custom setup, it's a bit cumbersome (need to switch to oomph's "Advanced" mode); I want to provide them completely standalone Eclipse installs. But your answer prompted me to look again and I found my way using the p2 director application:

https://help.eclipse.org/2019-06/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fp2_director.html

  With it I succeeded building a standalone Eclipse, installing the CDT using a public repo, and installing our own plugin specifying a file:/ URI for the update site!

Best,
Clément

ps: for reference, my command goes like this (highlighting our custom plugins):

./eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-03,file:/media/truecrypt1/pncide/releng/com.provenrun.pncide.tycho.updatesite/target/updatesite,https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/ -installIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide,org.eclipse.cdt.feature.group,com.provenrun.pncide.tycho.dts.feature.feature.group -destination /tmp/p2test/fromscratch/ -profile SDKProfile -profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true -bundlepool /tmp/p2test/fromscratch/ -p2.os linux -roaming

Dear CDT developers,

  A few months ago I requested guidance from regarding generating
.cproject files from the command line. This project is now deployed
internally and users are happily generating CDT configurations (from a
web service backed up by command line) specifically tuned for the
products we develop at Prove&Run \o/

  I'm writing to you /again/ because we would now like to send *complete
installations of Eclipse*, including the CDT as well as a few custom
plugins; to customers so that they are gently introduced to the code we
ship to them. However, I don't understand how to do that. I know how to
build standalone Eclipse using tycho *by using .product files*. But this
mechanism requires to have a *product to point to*. In my case I don't
have a product, simply a list of RCP plugins (or features, which we use
to build standalone update sites).

  In other words I'd like to build a vanilla installation of the CDT
augmented with our custom plugins; exactly as if I had taken a vanilla
installation and manually installed our plugins from an update site. Do
you have any pointer on *how to do that from the command line*?

Best regards,

Thanks for your hard work on the CDT,

Clément Hurlin

Clement,
 I believe you are looking for Oomph. This is a pretty decent write-up https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2014/may/article3.php
