Sure, you can use the p2 ant targets (make sure to run them with the
Eclipse antRunner application and not just plain ant).  I think there's
generate.p2.metadata among others.  But as it currently stands this is
just used to speed up initial installation so don't bend over backwards
trying to do it.  p2 will generate the same metadata upon first use and
plop it into the user's ~/.eclipse directory.

If they're not being seen, you may be a victim of:

Try running with -clean to see if they're picked up.  If they're still
not picked up, try putting the same directory somewhere on disk and
doing an installation from a local site and see if it completes or gives
dependency missing errors.
