Package extensions with Extension Manager

[mike_nitobi]

Is it possible to package an extension without using Adobe Extension Manager?

I don't believe it is. Remember that you need to have your users able to
install it and they need the EM for that anyway.

Oops, I should have been more descriptive. I still want to package the
extensions in an mxp file for distribution, but I'm looking for a way to do
this without using the Extension Manager, per se (I want to automate the
process). Does the Extension Manager support command line usage?

I don't know .. have you read through the Extending Dreamweaver section of
the Help menu of DW? That would probably tell you.

Out of curiosity, why don't you want to use the EM to package it?

No, there is no way that I know of, after talking to DW engineers about it.
The .mxp format is not available. Basically it's a zip file with some added
information, but that information is unknown.
