How do I customize Eclipse on-the-fly?
My task for this week is to figure out how to customize Eclipse on-the-fly? By this, I mean that we're going to install Eclipse and then programmatically add plugins and configure them. Is this possible? We'd also like to add projects to the workbench and have them be there when the user first opens Eclipse. My current technique is to do diffs on directories after I've configured/added stuff, but that's probably not a good long-term solution.

I just looked at Eclipse's site. It looks like they have an API for doing this:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/main.html
Specifically their update compents provides facilities to: The update component is designed to keep plug-ins executing within the Eclipse environment up to date with any available changes. It provides mechanisms for:
* discovering location of updates (on the Web, or local file system)
* adding new plug-ins to Eclipse
* updating existing plug-ins
* managing local user Eclipse installation configuration
Will this do the trick?
