This is not a realistic goal. Most Eclipse plugins are not designed or
implemented as simple reusable components. For example,
org.eclipse.compare depends on all of these other plugins:
org.eclipse.ui
org.eclipse.core.resources
org.eclipse.jface.text
org.eclipse.ui.ide
org.eclipse.ui.views
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor
org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.core.expressions
org.eclipse.ui.editors
org.eclipse.ui.forms
So for it to work all of those plugins' code has to be available along
with whatever each of them depends on.
Eclipse plugins are NOT generic stand-alone components to be reused;
they only work in the context of the Eclipse platform.
