[pde-build-dev] JNLP and unpacked plugins

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

We've come to a point where we want to use Java Web Start to download 
and deploy a bundle that is unpacked. The current functionality provided 
by Eclipse does not allow this. We need it though, since we want to use 
bundles like the org.eclipse.pde.build.

The approach I'm thinking of taking involves exporting the bundle (so 
that it indeed is a jar) and associate the JNLP download with an 
'installer' that will perform the unpack operation once the bundle has 
reached its destination. I'm a bit uncertain where to put the resulting 
folder though, and any insight on this would be very helpful. How can I 
make the WebStartMain aware of the unpacked bundles that I create?
