AFAIK there is no extension point for this page - do you know the name of it or ?

Sounds like some code/logic that should be shared/delegatable to a WTP facets implementation.

Also put pressure on our runtime developers to provide us with lightweight interfaces so runtime distribution is left to a minimum. (Only HibernateTools and AOP actually need the runtime to work ATM)

I do not understand what this point is about ?
How can we live with just "interface" JAR's when it is something the users projects need to run against ? (either we distribute or not ;)

  |  1. Put runtime jars in CVS/SVN
  |  2. Download/copy runtime jars from repository.jboss.com into plugin
  |  3. Let user download/register their runtime after installation

I have a distinct feeling that you have a different concept of runtime than me ;)

For me "runtime" libraries is *only* about which libraries *users* need for their projects.

#3 sounds more like a mix on how we get libraries for the JBossIDE plugins into the build and how users can select something else ?
