Andrea, could you describe the problem, why you don't like to export
every single jar in the manifest? I seems to me that you are trying to
resolve 3rd-party transitive dependencies and add these dynamically if
you build the plugin.

Just a suggestion : Try to create a eclipse plugin from jars (new ->
other -> Plug-in Development -> Plug-in from Existing jar)

- select the jars you want in your bundle
- on the wizard page Plug-in Project Properties you can select "unzip
the JAR archives into the project" (this will create packages with
extracted class files and adds all packages to the Export-Package:
setting in the manifest.
- no need to add jars to classpath anymore.

Questions:
Where are the jars from (maven dependency, manual copy task)?
Do you plan to include 3rd-Party dependencies or just use the
import-packages directive in the manifest.mf ?  (I would prefer later,
so so don't have to care about who is the "provider" of the
depenencies (e.g. com.springsource.xxx , org.apache.xxx or whoever).

do you have set up a branch in your github clone we can go over and
check the settings?

Cheers, Frank
