Automate update creation

Question

I developed the eclipse plug-in and created the function and update site site in eclipse to publish it. What I'm looking for is a way to automate the process of creating my update site during our automatic build process through the command line, rather than manually through the user interface of the update site project.

It seems to me that large projects should use an automated process and that it should be quite simple, but did not find simple help on how to do this on the Internet.

Thanks a lot! Michal.

I voted for zvikico's answer, but wanted to add that you really no longer want to create site.xml. The site.xml file does not contain detailed information about the plugin / package requirements contained in content.xml. Modern Eclipse supports both style metadata for the new (content.xml / artifacts.xml) and old (site.xml) styles, but the new style will give you more consistent support.
