Hi Andrew,
The jars in the management/eclipse-plugin/plugins will be removed. Those are there because initially this module was not built with maven. Maven pulls the required jars(given as dependencies) from maven repository for compiling. The eclipse plugins in maven repository are available for win32 only. For compilation purpose the dependencies are set up using win32 jars. Once the RCP is compiled and the RCP(plugin) jar is created. It can be run with on any platform. There are two simple steps for running it as stanalone applicaiton- 1. installation of this plugin.(eg in C:/ or $HOME) 2. unpacking the appropriate RCP runtime binary from eclipse website in the management console installation dir (eg C:/qpidmc or $HOME/qpidmc) (eg eclipse-RCP-3.2.1-linux-motif.tar.gz from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.1-200609210945/ ) then using the run script the applicaiton will get started. That is the process as of now. The downloading of required runtime binary from eclipse is required because the platform specific eclipse plugins are not available in maven repository, so we can't pachage everything together for all platforms using maven. Now we are looking to see if this process is right or there is a better way for distributing this management console RCP application. I am also not an expert in Maven, so don't know if these runtime binaries can also be downloaded from eclipse repository using maven.

Why is there a hard requirement on the win32 bundle? Whatever is starting the management console should determine what ws.os.arch triplet (ex. win32.win32.x86 or gtk.linux.ppc) is needed. It appears that the launcher may be hard-coding for win32. But perhaps that's just my naive reading of the situation. I don't know anything about maven. Sorry. Andrew
