I looked at that article in the past.
Ok lets put the problem this way: how do you get ANY plugin that has source
code (not necessarily with source code contribution, but a zip with source
code), import it (which I have done), so I can develop on it. It all seems
ok when I launch it in debug mode. The problem is when I try to export this
imported plugin into the workspace, out to a folder or zip or jar as a
deployable plugin, it just doesnt work. The zip is empty,etc. And it wasn't
the only plugin that behaved like this. I mentionned some time ago another
plugin downloaded from eclipse site: "Take control of your properties", I
posted the question with subject "How to import and debug plugins that come
with source code". After I fixed the things u suggested, it did import ok,
but when I made changes and export it as a deployable plugin it just not
happening.

The source code is not sufficient for developing a plugin. You also need
the build.properties file. That is why when developing an existing
eclipse plugin we told people to use CVS. The CVS has the
build.properties file correct for that product. And the default one
created by importing the source is often not sufficient.
I only use the source that comes with a plugin to attach to the binary
jar for debugging and browsing purposes. When actually developing the
plugin I use CVS because CVS is complete.
