[epp-dev] how to use org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director to update eclipse i

[Jelle de Jong <jelledejong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

I hope this is the right mailingslist, otherwise please redirect me to 
the right one.

I been using org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director to isntall the subclipse, 
shelled, cmakeed, hudson, pgroup plugins it was some struggle to figure 
it out but I seem to got the latest versions of all plugins.


However when I start eclipse and go to help -> check for updates the 
Review and confirm the updates diaglog shows these id's to be updated:

 org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group
 org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla_feature.feature.group
 org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext_feature.feature.group

So I tried to do this with org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director but it fails 
because the ids are already there.

See: https://paste.debian.net/plainh/5dc593a8

How can I use org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director to update an installed 
eclipse installation so it is fully up to date and I can use the 
commandline with ansible to manage all my eclipse workstations nicely.

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
