your example packages are no better (or worse) than my example from the wiki.
these are not Fedora packaging requirements.

IMO, if there is a best way to package eclipse plugin packages, it needs to be
captured in a document, and submitted to the packaging committee for consideration.

that will be nice. :)

cool.

i didn't see the point of making a feature.xml, when the upstream source already
comes with a plugin.xml and things seem to work.  is there some advantage to a
feature that would justify the additional work?
