 Ok, I found information about "links" directory and can now move almost 
all standard Eclipse plugins in separate location, that can be shared. I 
should keep only runtime, osgi and update plugins.
 Tested on 3.0, don't know if this works for 3.1, I see that friend of 
mine can not do same thing with his RCP application for Eclipse 3.1...
 We will keep trying. :-)
