I also had a shot at building Eclipse plugins quite some time ago. I was focusing on third party plugins rather than the core Eclipse components but there is some overlap there. Ideally they should be built using the Eclipse PDE but last time I tried, unbundling the JARs was still a nightmare. I believe the tools Serkhan mentioned are supposed to improve this situation but I've stopped using Eclipse since then. For a while now, we are supposed to have been using the P2 system for handling the plugins but due to a silly bug that's never been fixed, Gentoo still isn't using it. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=249133 Regards, James
