Scott, 

Take a look at org.eclipse.update.core.standalone
and org.eclipse.update.core.operations packages. The first one, contains
classes that are used to implement command line update operations (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/doc/working/documentation/standalone_update.html),
but can also be used directly as java API's. The second package is more
powerful, but requires a deeper understanding of the other update classes.
Please open a bug for any feedback you
have on these, as there may still be some time left to polish them.
Currently the Intro component is using
them, so you can look at their code as well.

Subject	[platform-update-dev] Update Manger API's?

I’m looking at possible solutions for a use case that involves the deployment
of a plug-in/bundle that results in the workbench parsing the new contribution.
 That use case involves a smart client agent that looks into a user
database and provisions a set of plug-in/bundles or features depending
on the logged on user.  Are there public API’s in the update manager
that a client agent can use to initiate an on-demand type of deployment
and configuration?       


Thanks,
