The different versions of GEF are compiled / tested against a certain 
version of Eclipse, e.g. GEF 3.0.1 requires Eclipse 3.0.1.
So bundling a specific version of GEF forces the users to use the 
corresponding version of Eclipse too or a newer one.

To decouple from Spring IDE releases you could set the version number 
of the bundled Spring IDE's core plugin in your plugin's dependency 
configuration, e.g.
    <requires>
       <import plugin="org.springframework.ide.eclipse.beans.core" 
version="1.1.0" match="perfect"/>
    </requires>

This way the bundled version will always be referenced even though a 
newer version of Spring IDE maybe installed.

But you shouldn't use the version number "1.1.0" before the real 
version 1.1.0 of Spring IDE is released. Otherwise the update manger 
will not install Spring IDE's core plugin v1.1.0 when it's finally 
released. Maybe you can use "1.0.9" instead (you have to modify 
plugin.xml of the bundled Spring IDE core plugin too).

Cheers,
Torsten
