Look at using installhandlers to accomplish this task.
The important thing to note is that installhandlers are tied to feature lifecycle so yo need to understand whether you want your operation to be performed during feature install,configure,unconfigure,uninstall. It seems it makes sense that your operation reside in the install/uninstall phases (imho).
If you don't like bundling your installhandler in a jar file like it is required, the other option is to create your own installhandler that is a global installhandler (http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_update_core_installHandlers.html?resultof=%22%69%6e%73%74%61%6c%6c%68%61%6e%64%6c%65%72%22%20%22%69%6e%73%74%61%6c%6c%68%61%6e%64%6c%22%20) and than simply reference that global installhandler in the feature you're interested in. I personally think it's much easier to manage it that way as you're not packaging a separate jar in your bundle.
