Command Line:

eclipse/eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -noSplash -repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno

-installIUs org.eclipse.egit.feature.group, org.eclipse.jgit.feature.group, org.eclipse.emf.sdk.feature.group, org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group

Where:

-repository is the location of the repo

-InstallIUs gives a coma-separated list of features that you want to install.

For un-installing, use:

-uninstallIUs <coma-separated list of features to be uninstalled>

For installing or uninstalling only one feature, use:

-InstallIU <feature> or -uninstallIU <feature>
