Yes, the created package works well, except for the update manager.

Yes, I tried with that file, however, I get errors about what looks like 
conflicting packages, such as:

Bundle org.eclipse.help_3.3.100.v20080515 failed to resolve.:
Another singleton version selected: org.eclipse.help_3.3.100.v20080610

I guess that the features and plugins contained in the zipped file are 
conflicting with the plugins downloaded from the repository.

After removing the features and plugins folders from the zipped file, 
the package build works well, however the product doesn't activate the 
additional features (the features that were not included with the root 
files package). I guess that the p2 files are not updated with the 
additional features and the original set was unchanged, making the 
product unusable.

Well, since eclipse 3.4 is released today, I'll wait a bit and try to 
build a package with the stable 3.4 files, just is case.

Anyway, you can confirm that the EPP build should create all required 
files automatically ? There isn't any additional step to do, right ?
