I have written a package having no user interface that I currently
simply include on the classpath of my mission plugin, but I'd like to
make it a plugin too, so that I can use the trace facility on it
conveniently (which requires that it become a plugin).
I tried creating a plugin project, specifying in the new project
wizard that that the plugin would make no contribution to the UI,
but the resulting project did not contain a plugin manifest which
seems a bit radical. I looked into org.eclipse.core.commands_3.1.0.jar,
and it does have a plugin.xml, albeit abbreviated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>
<plugin />
I've looked in the help and on the net for an article or help
on the issue, but have not found anything specific about creating
non-UI (core?) plugins. Should I post this as a bug, or is there
something I am doing wrong?
Bill.

Thanks Joe, you are correct. I got the same info from the platform
group. Its good to know that is not a problem.
