I was being very vague in my question. The eclipse plugin needs several dependent jar files but I don't believe there is an archetype for an eclipse plugin project. I believe that you have to use the IDE to deploy a plugin project so that it can be used. I think we could use maven to pull the dependent jars for a maven repository but I'm not sure of the best way to override the default behavior of a "jar" archetype. The plugin expects the dependent jars to be in a "lib" folder under the project folder. I'm just learning about these plugin projects so any tips on the best way to manage would be greatly.
After a bit of googling I found this: http://mojo.codehaus.org/pde-maven-plugin/ It seems that it can create an Eclipse plugin update site, thought it seems to lack a bit of documentation... better than nothing :-) Antonio
