For using an update site with features, we don't need to change
anything in the existing plug-ins. We only need to create a new
feature (with the Eclipse Wizard) and point to the UIMA plug-ins. So
far so good.
The only problem, as far as I know is, that we can't refer to
features, which are not part of our site within a feature as include.
But we can define dependencies on a particular EMF plugin/feature as
required (see:
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/feature_manifest.html).
If I got it right from the spec of an update site
(http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/update_sitemap.html)
we can refer to external features by url. In that case, the "add
required" Button in Eclipse update manager should do the job in
finding all required plug-ins.
I haven't tested that yet, but after a short look into the Eclipse
help, it looks like a possible way.

I wanted to bring this thread back to everyone's attention. The idea
of creating a new feature sounded promising. Any chance we can get
this done? (Mirko, would you be willing to submit a patch?) The
difficulty of installing our plugins and the right EMF version
continues to bite us.
