Okay, that was just a misunderstanding -- there are no new or changed
variables, it's the variable extensions that are different. (Sorry about my
nitpicking, I really didn't understand :-)

It sounds like you are adding required external classes manually. As far as
I understand the plugin classloader stuff, you need to name all entries of
your classpath in the plugin.xml -- either as "Dependencies", plugins your
plugin requires or under "Runtime", parts of your plugin classpath (that can
be exported if you wish).

This works quite nicely for me, I only regret that I checked in the
.classpath file.
