I think it would be great if you added it. I'm not aware of any Eclipse specific packaging documentation (maybe someone else will point us in the right direction for this), but m2e-wtp is built using maven, and there's lots of documentation on that. The main Java packaging guidelines page is available at [1], and there's also a great HowTo page[2]. A good idea might be to have a look at some existing packages that are similar. For example, some other m2e packages exist in Fedora[3]. Are you already a Fedora packager, or do you have any other experience with RPM packaging? Regards, Gerard.
