Copying the dependencies to the root file is what has worked till now. But the ultimate packaged plug in looks a little messy. So I was just trying to do accomplish the copying of dependency to the lib folder as an improvisation.
The need to copy the dependencies to the root folder comes about due to an Eclipse bug - The Eclipse IDE has a feature that allows you to add "links" to dependencies, and the Eclipse IDE puts these in links in the root of the project.
Unfortunately this linked dependencies feature is not mirrored in the ant based Eclipse PDE build code, which takes the existence of the files literally. If the files aren't physically in the root directory, then the PDE build will fail.
You may also encounter this in Eclipse on it's own: your project may build and run fine from within the IDE, but when you run "export your product" the Eclipse build mysteriously fails.
