I have a feature project need to build. It depends on some other features or plugins from remote site. How can I use p2 to download all these dependencies to a local folder with command line.
I don't know exactly which repository contains the needed feature. For example, my project need feature A and B，and there are 3 remote repositories R1,R2,R3. I only know A or B can be fined from one of R1,R2,R3, and I need to use p2 to search A and B from all there 3 repositories and download them.

Any one can help?

If you define the dependencies between the features in your feature.xml (<import 'feature id' />), you don't have to care about the repository. p2 only needs to know the URL to the enabled repository.

In the 'Install New Software...' Dialog, there are 4 checkboxes.
If the last checkbox 'Contact all update sites during ...' is checked, nothing more to be done. p2 contacts all sites.

But I need to get them downloaded to a certain folder using command line rather than "Install new ..."
