Thanks Phillipe. I don't think I would have found that info there.

I just ran a test which errored in the following way. Any ideas?

Miles:
This is the standalone command line update that supports that.
This is a simple, yet poorly documented area of Eclipse. Policies are a
bit arcane too.
Check the doc at:
 
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc
.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html

"Mirroring feature(s) from a remote site:
java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
    -application  org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
    -command mirror
    -from remote_site_url
    -to target_site_dir
    [-featureId feature_id]
    [-version version]
    [-mirrorURL mirror_site_url]

If -mirrorURL is specified, an update policy will be generated in
<target_site_dir>/policy.xml file. The resulting policy.xml maps all
features from the mirror site to the specified URL. The policy.xml can
be used as is, or its fragments can be included into custom designed
policy file."


Just also FYI, I maintain an open source and free Eclipse distro, and we
can also provide custom assembled distros for a team, if that is
something that could make sense for you.
It could alloow you team to have a controlled, pre-configured, tested
and uniform configuration.
Check http://easyeclipse.org
Cordially

Hi All,

Apparently "Eclipse Update provides a tool to mirror remote update sites
entirely or allow administrators to select updates and fixes to
download..." Can you provide more information about this tool?

Many thanks,

Miles
