Plug-ins need to specify how to load Eclipse runtime classes.

It is two way:

1) specify in ".classpath" file. e.g,

<classpathentry kind="var"
path="ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.ui_2.0.2/workbench.jar "/>

2)

Download eclipse runtime package from CVS. and specify in
".project" file.

In case (1), It is light weight. when developer installs eclipse
default install, no problem to create plug-in.

In case (2), It need to download sources from CVS. Developer can
programming and debugging in eclipse lastest version with plug-in
development.

(But, Plug-in depend on Eclipse Main branch that may be desirable
on XP practice "Continuous Integration")


Which is better development style?

3) Import external plugins. (File/import/external plug-ins and
fragments/don't extract source/select all/...) Then you can build your
plug-in against those binary plugins. This is probably the best way.

Both files may or may not be under (CVS) version control. They are used
for different purposes:
..project is owned by Platform core to manage the project meta data
(independent from Jdt).
..classpath is owned by JDT Core to manage the project's build path
