* This interface is used for update site adapter used

* If a matching mapping is found for this ID,
* the replacement URL found in the mapping file will be

* @deprecated The org.eclipse.update component has been replaced by Equinox p2.
* This API will be deleted in a future release. See bug 311590 for details.
