Thank you for confirming that is the route to go, I found that as well

Maybe it's time to suggest adding ibatis to the orbit project:

We are developing an Eclipse Rich Client project using iBatis and
faced the same problem.
Our solution is to use the Eclipse Buddy mechanism (see http://www.eclipsezone.com/articles/eclipse-vms/
and http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/bundle_manifest.html
for details).
We explicitly register our plugins that contain the sqlmaps.
That means in the manifest of the iBatis plugin the buddy entry is
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered
and in the plugins containing the sqlmaps we have Eclipse-
RegisterBuddy: com.ibatis
I recon that for your purpose the "dependent" or "global" setting
might be helpful
