Create a plugin project, and add, for instance, a 'jars' subdir.
Then on the 'Runtime' tab in the plugin.xml, in the lower right corner,
add your jars to the 'Classpath' box.
Once they're added, add the packages you want to expose to other plugins
to the 'Exported Packages' box.
If you have any actual code in your plugin, be sure to add '.' to the
'Classpath' box, or it won't be seen by Eclipse (as I found out through
trial & error).

There are a couple of options:
A) Define a User Library (search the Preferences dialog for "user") that
includes all the JARs. Projects can include a User Library on their
Build Path via the "Add Library..." button.
B) Create a regular Java Project that contains all the JARs (and nothing
else), includes them on its Build Path, and exports them (see the Order
and Export tab of Build Path). Then make other Projects include that
project on their Build Paths.
Option B has the benefits of easily attaching source and/or Javadoc for
the JARs that will get inherited by all projects and lauch configs that
depend on the library project, and also that it can be checked in to
source control for other developers to leverage.
Hope this helps,
Eric
