[news.eclipse.platform] How can I tell my update project to build the plugins as ZIP files NOT jar files



Hi,

I have a feature.xml that has some plugins. One of the plugins does not use a MANIFEST.MF file, that is, using Eclipse 3.0.0 plugin format. This is my documentation plugin and I want it built as a zip file when building my feature. How would I do that?

I specify my documentation plugin in my feature.xml as below:

...
<plugin id="MyDocPlugin" download-size="0" install-size="0" version="1.0.0" unpack="false"/>
...


Still, the update site project builds my plugin and bundles it as a jar file!

Please advice/help!

Remember that I am not trying export the plugin out manually but build it via my update site project.

The second part of my question is: Can I simply put the zip file on my update site and Eclipse will unzip it automatically when I do an update? If not, what do I have to do?

Thanks
