I've started developing an RCP application and I want to use the Spring
framework for JDBC access initially. Does anyone have any
suggestions/recommendations for adding Spring to my RCP? It seems I need
to take the spring.jar and convert it to a "plugin"....is that the way to
go or is there some other?

It's already on the radar, but there's nothing available yet AFAIK:

http://www.springframework.org/osgi

You'll need to be careful with classloaders -- using buddy classloaders are one way of solving that kind of problem. I'd suggest using Eclipse's 'new plugin from existing jar files' and then have your bundle depend on that. If you need to use buddy classloading, you can look at the article which talked about it:

I am using spring, hibernate, SWTForms and many other commons libraries.
I just made a plugin (new plugin from existing jars) with all the 3rd
party libs I need and create a dependency on this plugin and use the
buddy system with the other plugins that need that including my main
application plugin. Everything seems to work fine so far.
