In the New and Noteworthy for M8, I see that Eclipse now supports
dynamic loading / unloading of plug-ins. Does anyone know of a way to
do trigger this programatically?
My objective is to replace the Software Update module with one that
handles downloading & installing plug-ins dynamically at runtime
including loading / unloading without Eclipse needing to reload.
(Without going in to the details, the model that the default Eclipse
updater works does not support the features that I need.)
Thanks, Tim.

If you have time, it may be worth describing your scenarios in a bugzilla
feature request (Platform > Update component).
There are programmatic ways to use the update manager, you can see an
example in the way the new Intro component is downloading samples.
Take a look at the org.eclipse.update.internal.standalone (the easiest to
use) and org.eclipse.update.internal.operations.api (more complex). These
packages will likely make it into API's by the end of the 3.0 cycle, so any
feedback is appreciated.
You can also use standalone commands from a command prompt:
