Without dev classpath support in the framework you need to place all you 
source and output folders at the root of your projects.  Then you should 
be able to use a reference: URL to install the project directory as a 
bundle.  This only works because the root of the project will look like 
a bundle to the framework with the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and .class files
located directly from your project directory.  Another limitation is 
you must only put '.' on your Bundle-ClassPath (or do not 
define a Bundle-ClassPath since this is the default).
