Hi Paul, The .log file was in the <user_home>/workspace/.metadata directory. I didn't know that Eclipse creates this workspace there since I was creating my workspace on my installation directory. For this reason I haven't looked there.
Looking at the log file, it is missing one of the artifacts named "osgi.bundle". It sound stange because I can install the hello world plug-in using the UI but not from the command line. Below is the log content: !SESSION 2008-06-17 09:20:03.361 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I20080609-1311 java.version=1.6.0_02 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.

After that I decided to remove all things and start from scratch. Create again the plug-in, feature and update site. After using the following command line it worked! eclipsec.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application -metadataRepository file:/D:/motodev.us/ -artifactRepository file:/D:/motodev.us/ -installIU motodev.feature.clicli.feature.group -version 1.0.0 -destination D:/eclipse_ganymede_RC4/eclipse_sdk -profile SDKProfile -vmArgs -Declipse.p2.data.area=D:/eclipse_ganymede_RC4/eclipse_sdk/p2 Thanks for all support, Pedro Carneiro.
