Fair point :-). Maybe we should keep at least one non-jar plugin (eg. 
rdt.core) or create a dummy plugin for the ruby files. I've just checked 
the Eclipse plugins itself and they also do not come exclusively as jar 
plug-ins. Do you understand this distinction? BTW, what are the reasons 
for using jar plug-ins except for "its new, I want to have it"?
