Yes, the plugin.xml is a leftover of the early days. OSGi offers the far superior mechanism of Declarative Services. I'd strongly recommend to avoid the old extensions wherever possible.

Right, plugin.xml is an Eclipse-specific format for extensibility, which is not part of OSGi specification. Support for this "extension registry" of plugin.xml files is part of the org.eclipse.equinox.registry bundle. I believe it's totally possible for Equinox to work comforming to OSGi spec without this bundle.
