I appologize if this is not a right forum for this question.

Once I "OSGI" all my plugins and generate manifest.mf, can/should I remove old plugin.xml?

If your plugins use extensions or provide extension points, you need the
plugin.xml.

If you are just providing plugin "libraries", the manifest is enough to
specify plugin dependancies, classpaths, runtimes, what's exported, etc.
