One of our plugins consists mostly of 3rd party libraries (dozens of jars),
while our own code make up only ~10% of the total size. The problem is that
only one 15MB jar is created for the plugin when doing an update site build,
and the complete jar needs to be downloaded every time our code or one of
the 3rd party jars change.
Is there a way to set up an update site/build so that multiple jars are
created per plugin? We're looking for one jar for our stuff (built from
source) plus one per 3rd party jar.
Thanks, John

You'd better be creating one plugin by third party library and make your
plugin require those.

Thanks Pascal, that would help (somewhat), but we would still need to
download 13.5MB every time any of the 33 3rd party libraries change. These
can probably be combined into ~20 plugin projects, but I won't try to set up
and maintain this unless I got no other choice. I guess the question is: do
update sites currently support a project being stored as more than one jar?
Thanks, John

If you are using 3.0 there is a new install handler called
org.eclipse.update.core.DeltaInstallHandler(I think thats the name). It
allows you to just provide a delta change to a plugin. So if only 3 of
the 33 jars changed you'd only have to download those three.
They seemed to have missed it from the API docs although the mention it
the feature manifest docs, am not sure why that is.
