Specifying a relative path for <library>, as with "whatever.jar" in the
plugin.xml snippet below, allows the plugin to include a jar which isn't
in the plugin. This seems like it would be a bug, because it breaks the
plugin model for updates and requires a certain file structure outside
of the plugin directory. Why then doesn't Eclipse prevent this, or is it
acceptable to do this?
Thanks,
David
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>
<plugin id="com.acme.foo" name="%pluginName" version="0.0.1"
provider-name="%pluginProvider">
<runtime>
<library name="../../../../lib/whatever.jar">
<export name="*" />
</library>
</runtime>
</plugin>

It's a bug.
A similar problem was reported on the equinox list a month and a half ago.
I can't find the associated bug though so you should probably log it
