We have several RCP application, that should be separate, but we want
share core plugins, i.e. have them only one time on hard drive. Is it
possible to describe "links" for plugins? I don't mean links on file
system, but some file where I tell Eclipse where to look for some
additional plugins. I remember that I saw something like this, but now can
not find it.

what about adding a new extension location besides the default one as
eclipse allows the user to do?
every plugin has it's own plugin/ and feature/ folder inside it's
installation folder and additionally shares an additional extension
location with other rcp-apps.

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. :-)
