RE: [platform-update-dev] how to get a local-site-type from aupdate-server-type-site?

hi,
 
 I figured this out now..
 
the answer was to "install" the remote site to a local site (which generates an .eclipseextension file inside it). This can then be used with the "addSite" command
 
thanks,
Andrew

Subject: [platform-update-dev] how to get a local-site-type from aupdate-server-type-site?

hi,
 
 I'm looking at possibly bundling up some standard eclipse plug-ins with an eclipse distribution, but the plug-ins are only available via an update site. My current understanding is that
 
    1) there are two types of install site currently defined by Eclipse: local ones, and ones available via an update server
    2) you can mirror a remote update-server-type-site to what appears to be an update-server-type-site on your file system via the update manager API*
    3) you can add features to an eclipse installation by adding a local-type-site
 
I can't find a way to get hold of a site in the local-type-site format from an update server though - is there a way? (is this the right approach?)
 
any help appreciated,
thanks,
Andrew
