Description John Willson CLA 2007-01-30 03:27:32 EST 
There is extension point for plugin to contribute classpath container. But in many cases, plugin just want to provide set of jars for use as a library. JUnit can be a best example.
So we need a extension point for plugin to contribute libraries using just description.

The attachment plugin only support library classpath container, but it's easy to add UI support to select a provided library. 
Anyway you need to add following in .classpath file to see it acting.
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.library.pluggable.classpathContainerInitializer/org.apache.tapestry/tapestry5"/>
