Hi Tamar,
I suggest you take a look at one of our site projects.
http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/tools/org.eclipse.buckminster /trunk/org.eclipse.buckminster.site.eclipse/
Those two files are all that's needed to a) define the contents of your update site and b) to categorize that content.
You don't need any special properties. Just create a site feature like that and execute its site.p2 action.
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
