[news.eclipse.platform] Plugins dowloader and manager

Hi,

Not sure this is right group for this message. Just point me the right one in this case.

I'm looking for a tool that can help me to do the following:
1. Check for new versions of plugins referred by update site URL (and maybe by direct URL to a ZIP)
2. Download new versions of plugins
3. Upload downloaded plugins to a local network (in form of update site, local archive or whatever that can be used by Eclipse Update Manager later)
4. Manage this local plugin database (not only upload to it, but to remove or change some attributes, internal structure maybe)


The goal is to have a sharable local update site that can be updated with newer versions/new plugins and can be accessed by several Eclipse users from within local network.

So, I need just download new plugins but no need to install them into my local Eclipse.
Right now, I'm doing this manually. Some plugins have just update site, some are distributed by update site archives, some just ordinal archives. I would like to automate this process.


I was intended to use Pulse, but it looks like users need to have an online access to network. This is not acceptable for me.
