I am using 3.2 M3, Build id: I20051102-1600 What I noticed is the Export Wizard option that comes up from Plugin.xml->Overview Tab->Exporting->#2 Exporting Wizard is different from .product->Exporting->Eclipse Product export wizard When the export dialog box comes up, the last option: EXPORT_OPTIONS, misses 2 items 1. Package plug-ins as individual JAR archives 2. Save as Ant script, when invoked from the .product As a result, when a product is built, the plug-ins generated always are in a JAR form. The plug-ins with 3rd party jars needs to to be manually unjarred, to make the application work.

Pascal/Andrew, are you interested in exposing the new product export task in the product export wizard?
That was one our goal while completing the product export. However, note that it is not an ant task but a script that invokes multiple tasks. I can see two paths for integration: 1) complete integration: PDE UI changes to only rely on the product export script from PDE Build. In the product export PDE UI role is one of script and build.properties generation. That requires some work for both PDE Build and UI. 2) low modification. PDE UI still works as it does today, and when "save as ant script" is selected generates the proper parameters to the product build script. Be aware that we are currently pretty busy and integrating that at this stage may require more work than we are prepared for.
No one has shown interest in fixing this for several years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if you are interested in contributing a fix.
