I have noticed that some names ids or icon names in Eclipse extension have at the beginning signs like % or $ - is there any documentation what are they and how to use them?

In a plugin.xml file, "%property.name" is replaced with the value of the named property in plugin.properties.

Not sure about '$'. I think it has something to do with localization. I've seen a lot of "$nl/blah/blah/blah".

If you figure out the details, help everyone out by updating that wiki page.

EDIT: Fixed the link. You can also search google code for various plugin.xml examples. Quite spiffy, and it saved my bacon once or twice.
