To specify the version of eclipse, simply use the prereqs in your plugins.
As for prereq'ing java 5.0, this is work in progress. the bug is located

Hi,
where can i set these requirements? In the plugin.xml?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?> <-- HERE ???
<plugin>
[...]
</plugin>
What happens, if the eclipse version is not the version in the version tag?
Thnx.
