[riena-dev] Updating the build.properties

I've updated the build properties in many of our plug-ins. As you know,
this file controls which non-source files get packaged into the plugin's
jar during the automated build. 

In order to have functional plugins after the build, here is a list of
things that should normally be included the build properties: 

* plugin.xml
* about.html 
* META-INF directory
* OSGI-INF directory
* icons directory
* lib directory / referenced jars
* schema directory (not strictly necessary, but helpful IMHO)
* any other non-java content that should be in the plugin's jar, like
configuration files that are needed at runtime, etc.


Remember to update the build.properties file when adding
files/directories to the root directory of your project.

Kind regards,
Elias.
