Brian, First off, thank you for all of your help, I'm learning a great deal today.
The good news is that I have something that works now. The bad news is that it is not quite working as desired. Because of this experience, I can now see where your solution is different from the solution proposed by the bug described at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=361722 By making the modifications that you suggested to my <<product-id>>.p2.inf file, I have successfully had my feature installed into my RCP application. Unfortunately, it is not installed at the root level of installed features. Instead, the feature is a child of the main RCP feature of my RCP application, and therefore when updates are available for this child feature they are not found during the execution of the "Check For Updates" command in my RCP application. My requirement is that this feature be independently updatable without having to be manually installed by a user. I think this is what the patch in bug 361722 addresses. Do you think I'm accurate in this explanation? I'm not yet confident of my knowledge in this area.
