Version to push would be the features in here: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/jbosstools-3.3_trunk.component--as/all/repo/features/ -- therefore we could push 3.3M2 NOW and update to 3.3M3 when that drops.

Cannot test the functionality in WTP w/o actually putting content into the site. "Live testing", as it were.

> It seems what happens is you must make use of the org.eclipse.wst.server.discovery plugin. This plugin has a file (discovery.xml) which has "sites", and those sites (such as http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/wasce/updates/) seem to be an eclipse update site.
> The entry point for this wizard is in the New Runtime wizard. At the top is a hyperlink that reads "Download other adapters" (or something similar). It then queries these sites, and allows you to select one of those available.
> It seems the objects are then downloaded as IInstallableUnit's, which is in the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata package.
> I kinda lose track of it here, but, I suspect that after this it is downloaded as an actual eclipse bundle and added into the eclipse installation. But I guess I could trace through further
> Changes to our site would require adding the category and adding it to certain features in our site.xml.
