I need to be able to include additional files with the JAR plugin and I am having difficulty finding documentation describing how to do this. When looking in the Eclipse/plugins directory it looks as if some plugins do this, implying it is possible.
When I right click my plugin project and select Export, it only allows me to export as a JAR. I am looking for a way to be able to package the plugin in a folder and in the folder have the JAR plugin and other files.
Thanks!
I ended up finding the easiest way was to just use Maven and create a distribution where I could layout the directory structure as I needed. I used a parent pom to first build the eclipse-plugin and then used that artifact as a dependency for a packaging module executed after the eclipse-plugin module. I saw some examples using Tycho to create products that allowed you to add contents to the root installation, specifically itp04 from here http://git.eclipse.org/c/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho-demo.git/tree/ however this seemed overkill for what I needed.
