Currently, Eclipse JDT would create a launch profile for a class when it is run for the first time. The profile adds the project binary artifacts as the classpath of the profile.

It would be nice to be able to be able to specify jars/folders for a project that are purely required for runtime, so it is included whenever a new launch profile is created, but is not used at compile time.

The less desirable alternative is to add these runtime-only jars as a dependency in the project, but every time they change, Eclipse insists on doing a full rebuild. The reason these jars/dirs change is because there are ant targets that (re)generate these glue classes as part of build.
