[higgins-dev] dependencies.redistributable

["Jim Sermersheim" <jimse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1) After way too much time scratching my head, I discovered that this project's plugin name is org.eclipse.higgins.dependencies.redistributable (even though that differs from it's name in CVS).

2) I wanted to consume it as a plugin dependency from another project. In order to do that, I had to:

2.1) Add the 3'rd party jar file name that I needed in the Bundle-ClassPath section of MANIFEST.MF

2.2) Add all the packages from that jar to the Export-Package section of MANIFEST.MF

I'm a little concerned with #2.2.  If we have lots of 3'rd party libraries (which we do), the Export-Package list will get huge, making its maintenance a bit difficult.

Anyway, I checked this change in.  So far I've only exported the log4j packages to see if it works (it does).  Hopefully I'm doing it right.
