Alternatives to update sites for plugin distribution? [message #586712]

I want to distribute some plugins but I can't get update sites from
eclipse to work.

Back in the day plugins could be loaded by copying the jar files into
the eclipse plugins directory.

Is that still the case?

I think I can save a lot of time by using ant to zip my plugins and
having users unzip them into the plugins directory. I guess a plugin is
just a zip file with a certain structure. Is that documented?

Thanks,
John.
