I haven't done this on a long time, but if I remenber correctly of how
things worked. You need have to have a feature (not just a plugin)
enable the updates.
In the feature.xml, you define the URL where this feature can be
updated.
<url>
<update label="%updateSiteName"
url="http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/"/>
</url>
I am not sure if the Installable Runtime extension point allows you to
declare a feature instead of a plugin, but I belive it does.
Hope this helps..

Hi Angel,
Thanks very much for your response. I do have a feature and this in the
feature.xml:
<url>
<discovery label="Ajax jMaki site"
url="https://ajax.dev.java.net/eclipse/"/>
</url>
But, if I do this:
- Install the server adapter using new server wizard/download additional
link
- Restart - check that my adapter is there - fine
- Open software updates, look in available software - manage sites. To my
surprise, I *do* see the site I specified there. The problem is that it's
not checked, so I never knew it was there...
Is there a way to have it checked without user intervention?
Thanks,
Rochelle

All I can do is give you hope :) [not an answer or "how to do"]. <br>
I know there's been several bugs around this topic (such as <a
href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=230323">bug 230323</a>)<br>
And at some point I knew there were settings in the P2 metadata (either
content.jar, or artifacts.jar) <br>
that controlled the initial state of "enabled" or "disabled" ... but,
don't think there was much documented in "how to" <br>
control that. So, "hopefully" :) you'll be motivated to keep looking
for an answer and let us all know what you learn.<br>
