Subject	[platform-core-dev] Invoke feature updater programatically?

Folks:

Is there any way to invoke the feature install manager programatically?

I have a plug-in that's tied directly to the server that it's 
communicating with ... I have the ability to determine if the plug-in 
needs to be updated.

I would like to be able to invoke the update manager from my plug-in's
initial connect routine so I can force the user to upgrade (so the 
plug-in can communicate with the server and they can continue to use the
plug-in).

I'm currently tied to Eclipse 3.2.2.

Thanks!

david
