extension:=bootclasspath
The short answer is no and we have no plans to
implement it in the current 3.4 release. But there is a bug open https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=127724
We could consider implementing it in a future release. The struggle we have had
with this feature in OSGi is to implement true boot classpath extensions we
need to know about the extensions before the VM is even launched. This could be
done by modifying the eclipse.ini but the problem with this is that eclipse.ini
is not managed by the framework. In 3.4 p2 can now manage this file. One
possibility would be to have p2 manage the eclipse.ini to add the proper boot
classpath arguments with the bootclasspath extension content. I don't really
like this solution either because it involves a dance between p2 and the
framework in order to make bootclasspath fragments really work. In other words
they will not work in a framework that does not have p2 managing it.
