Is there a philosophical or technical reason Orbit doesn't provide an
update site? Seems like different projects might want to consume
projects either at build time or runtime and having the option would be
useful...

Hi, Jeff,
I think that one of the main reasons for this is that Orbit isn't in a
position to provide sensible "features," which are the unit of
organization in the update sites:

I'm not sure. Besides learning all things P2, you might read
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orbit_Builds
I think _producing_ the P2 metadata will be relatively easy ... what I'm not clear on is how
_consumers_ of orbit would incorporate the P2 "site" into their PDE builds.

Hmmm... I'm tempted to suggest having a feature for each plugin? Someone
might respond that my build process should assemble my dependencies for
me, but my gut says I should only have to do packaging of my own code,
not dependencies I get from eclipse.org...

This was frequently requested (and rejected :)
at the beginning of Orbit.
It was rejected for the reasons already posted by Christian,
and suggestions similar to yours were rejected because it felt that
would be just "working around" a limitation with update manager.
Instead, a new map file format was provided so it's pretty easy for consuming
projects to get the bundles you want to include in what ever features you want.
For some history, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=171955
Now what P2 is being released (in Eclipse 3.4) I suspect where will changes in the months
ahead to make Orbit "P2'd".
Would that help you?
If so, want to volunteer? :)

Hi David, sorry for the late reply...
Yeah, I might be interested in trying to help--I can at least look into
it. What's the best way to start?
