I have substituted the stylesheet eclipse.xsl with a another version 
(org.rubypeople.rdt.doc.user/docbook/modified_eclipse.xsl) which 
generates a MANIFEST.MF and a correct plugin.xml, too. Therefore I have 
removed plugin.xml from the repository, but kept the Manifest so that 
the plug-in will be valid in the workspace and for the build process 
without the need to generate anything.

Furthermore I found that the generation in the nightly build failed 
since we moved to JDK 1.5. The reason was that files were created 
relative to the current directory (user.dir) and not relative to the 
destdir property (which is given to the style-task). That is fixed now 
by calling a new Java process with the current dir set to the plug-in 
directory.
