There are two new UI projects in the
provisioning area
        -
equinox-incubator/provisioning/org.eclipse.equinox.prov.ui
        -
equinox-incubator/provisioning/org.eclipse.equinox.prov.ui.admin

Assuming you are already self hosting
the provisioning code, you'll want to:
- get these projects from the repository
(they are not currently in the project set)
- create an "Eclipse application"
launch config and copy the arguments from one of your other launch configs,
such as Test Director SDK 
- launch the workspace and then open
the "Provisioning" perspective

The UI is simply a browsing UI on top
the existing API.  Its purpose is to exercise and visualize the provisioning
API.  In other words, I don't believe this UI to be targeted at any
users besides provisioning hackers and folks interested in the provisioning
model.  It is certainly not an update manager UI replacement....just
a first step in playing with UI's on top of the new API.
