I have written a java tool that generates plugins out of jars. It is not very difficult when you know how an eclipse plugin is generated out of a set of jars.

Hi,
I would say that you have to recreate the entire plugin.
The reason is that plugin Manifest:Export-Package contains the list of the packages of the jars of the plugin.
Given that (probably) the packages of the new jar differ from those of the old jar such a list will not be valid and therefore you have to regenerate the entire plugin.
