How to list features of local update site? [message #332884]

Hi,

I'm using the standaloneUpdate application to mirror some features in
local update site.
Like this:
eclipsec -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command
mirror -from http://www.jgit.org/update-site -to
file://D:/install/eclipse/updatesite2 -featureId org.spearce.egit -version
0.3.1.200810240005

This works fine. Moreover, I can add this file in Eclipse UI and install
features from it.

But for some reason I cannot get a list of features with
eclipsec -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command
listFeatures -from file://D:/install/eclipse/updatesite2

I'm getting an error (see below).

What could be the problem with it? How can I list all the features from
command-line?

Here is the error log:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.update.core 4 0 2008-11-12 13:29:34.725

I've found that format of site directory has to be as following:

"D:/install/eclipse/updatesite2"

In this case I'm getting another error:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.update.core 4 0 2008-11-12 16:24:34.294
!MESSAGE [Cannot find configured site:D:/install/eclipse/updatesite2]
!STACK 0
java.lang.Exception: Cannot find configured
site:D:/install/eclipse/updatesite2

I've debugged org.eclipse.update.standalone.ListFeaturesCommand and found
that this site returns null for getCurrentConfiguredSite().

So, I have already 2 questions:
1. Why format of '-from' argument in 'listFeatures' differs from '-to'
argument of 'mirror' command. Documentation avalable with Eclipse
("Running update manager from command line") does not mention this

2. What should I do execute this command successfully. I had tried to
execute 'addSite' before 'listFeatures'.
In this case, standaloneUpdate seems to recognize the site, but its
content is empty:
Site: file:/D:/install/eclipse/updatesite2/eclipse/
Command completed successfully.

Note that adding a site adds 'eclipse' folder with the file
eclipseextension in it.
