RE: [platform-update-dev] Running update manager from the command line

Yes, this is part of the 3.0 release and it would be very difficult to do
on top of the 2.1 release.
In 2.1, Update Manager provides API's for basic feature operations, but
they are primitive operations, without the extra "policy" logic that ensure
correctness in the resulting configuration. Most of this extra logic was
done in the UI code (wizards, views, etc.), so we have factored it out into
an operations layer.
BTW, this is work in progress, and it will evolve as we go.

Dorian,

  This is great.  I'm assuming this is part of the 3.0
development line.  Would it be possible to use this
code to create a standalone plugin that can be used
with Eclipse 2.x, or does it depend on new 3.0 features?
