Combined automated update and install with P2 [message #484283]

I've read the great example at

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Adding_Self-Update_to_an_ RCP_Application#Headless_Updating_on_Startup

But

- if I'm reading it correctly - it's missing the ability to install new
plugins. It also doesn't seem to handle features.

Could some kind and knowledgeable soul amend the example to include
handling automated new feature/plugin installs in addition to updates?

In this example, update will install (or uninstall) plug-ins that are listed in the feature to be updated. Therefore if the feature A v1.0.0 contains P1, P2 and then in version 2.0 it contains P1, P2 and P3, P3 will be installed.

If you want new features to be installed, then the difficulty comes on how to identify what is new and needs to be installed.
