Hung,

  Would it be difficult to have nightly update site and/or downloadable 
update site archive? Then users can pickup new versions right from 
Eclipse without messing up with copying and unzipping files. Many 
projects do that for nightly and dev builds (i.e. FindBugs, Mylar)

  There is an article about building update sites from Eclipse [1], but 
you can do it manually from scripts. Update site structure is quite 
simple, it is just two folders with features and plugins and piece of 
site.xml that link it all together. the only catch is that qualifier 
(x.x.x.qualifier) in all plugin jar names and version need to be updated 
for every new build.

  regards,
  Eugene
