Great question. The short answer is no, you have to craft a configuration.
Using update.configurator creates a configuration (if one does not exist),
based on the global information that "discovered" in the Eclipse install
area. The update.configurator is promiscuous in this sense.
If you want to have some configurations that include a more limited set of
plugins (and you are using update.configurator) you need to construct a
platform.xml that points the the plugins you want.
Eclipse could use a configuration editor but currently this is largely a
hand rolling effort for you. There is some doc on the platform.xml format
in the help
( http://help.eclipse.org/help31/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference
/misc/update_platform_xml.html)
