I did.
My directory structure looks like this
c:\mywork\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.examples.helloworld\helloworld.jar
c:\mywork\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.examples.helloworld\plugin.xml
c:\mywork\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.examples.helloworld\icons\helloworld.gif

Surprisingly it does not work for me.
Any more clues ?

Cheers.
