[news.eclipse.platform] Command line update manager

[Craig Lang <cl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place for this question.. let me know if I 
should go somewhere else.

My specs:
Eclipse3.3 running on RHEL4 using suns jre 1.5.0_05

I'm trying to install features from a local site using the update 
manager command line.

I create my local site with 2 catergories each containing a feature. The 
update manager gui installs the features from my local site with no worries.

When I try and install from the command line I run into problems..
I try to add the site and the enable the features from the site.

I have attached my site.xml, the commands I run and the error log generated.

In the log it seems that update manager is looking for the plugin 
directory /common/prereq/eclipse/site.xml/plugins/ , It looks like this 
is the problem but I can't seem to find a workaround.

Let me know if more info is needed and thanks for any help!

Craig
