I'm answering this mail from the Web MailingList Archive:

Great! I don't know anything about the Pnuts language, but it'll be good 
to have support for it.

Hmm... that's odd. Could you just create a new Feature project for your 
Plugin.
The Beanshell feature works here, and it also seems to work with the 
org.eclipse.releng system (for headless builds).

If you make it available someplace, I definitly put a link on the 
EclipseShell page.
You could create a Sourceforge or JavaForge project and make it 
available there.
If you think  that's too much work... hmm... I guess I _could_ offer the 
binary version on my Sourceforge update site...
I'll have to think about possible issues with that.
