Library plug-in are a standard way of package third party jars. These library plug-in provide access to the library API. In addtion, classes with main() inside those jars are accesible using run configurations. The standard way is to add the third party jar to a project is to find the jar in the filesystem from the Libraries tab in the Java Build Path propety page of a Java project. I would like to suggest that a new tab be added named "Plug-ins". It would essentially present the same information of the "Plug-ins" view yet the behaviour of the SelectionListener would add the selected plug-in to the classpath of the Java Project. If this sounds like a good idea then I am willing to do the work.
Can you give more details. What tab are you refering to. An additional tab in the build path page? With plug-in you don't mean Eclipse plug-ins, right? Is it somthing like the user libraries where you can group a number of JAR's and give them one name? For Eclipse plug-ins we have the 'Plugin-Dependencies'-Library with automatically contains all plug-ins that your plug-in requires. Maybe give an example.
setting to remind until there is more information
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported. Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
