Hi, But I had checked some plugins that gets shipped with eclipse (3.3) for instance org.apache.batik_1.6.0.v20061222-1222, they do have a lib folder inside them but their Manifest.mf file looks a little different, it doesn't have an entry for Bundle.classpath, rather it has mentioned many packages in Export Packages.
What could be the case with that plugin? Is it because they are not using maven? or something else? Just curious.
