One approach is this:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/i18n/build.xml

<target name="p2">
		<!-- Generate P2 metadata so that update manager won't take forever.
			http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Metadata_Generator /home/sflaniga/apps/eclipse-ganymede/eclipse/eclipse
		 -->
		
		<exec executable="eclipse">
			<arg value="-application" />
			<arg value="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator" />
			<arg value="-updateSite" />
			<arg value="${jardir}" />
			<arg value="-site" />
			<arg value="file://${jardir}/site.xml" />
			<arg value="-metadataRepository" />
			<arg value="file://${jardir}" />
			<arg value="-metadataRepositoryName" />
			<arg value="JBoss Tools Localization Update Site" />
			<arg value="-artifactRepository" />
			<arg value="file://${jardir}" />
			<arg value="-artifactRepositoryName" />
			<arg value="JBoss Tools Localization Artifacts" />
			<arg value="-compress" />
			<arg value="-append" />
			<arg value="-reusePack200Files" />

			<arg value="-consoleLog" />
			<arg value="-vmargs" />
			<arg value="-Xmx256m" />
		</exec>
	</target>
	
Another approach is this:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/releng-common/tools/scripts/buildUpdateSiteMetadata.sh?root=Modeling_Project&view=markup

/usr/bin/java -cp $launcherJar:$generatorJar:$basebuilderDir/plugins org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main \
	  -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator \
	  -updateSite ${targetDir}/ -site file:${targetDir}/site.xml \
	  -metadataRepository file:${targetDir}/ -metadataRepositoryName "$projectNameVanity Update Site" \
	  -artifactRepository file:${targetDir}/ -artifactRepositoryName "$projectNameVanity Artifacts" \
	  -compress -reusePack200Files -vmargs -Xmx128M

> Is P2 stable/good enough for basing our updatesites on ? 
> Can we use it to have a more finegrained control in the installer (eg. only install some parts?)
> Can it be used to install other things than plugins ? (e.g. JBossAS ?)
