Yes. Eclipse best practice is (I believe) to create a separate eclipse
plug-in project for each third party library. This basically means creating
a new plugin project, adding the jar and creating a MANFEST.MF file. Then
eclipse projects can then declare themselves to be dependent on these OTHER
eclipse projects.

Yes. And to add these "plugin-wrapped" third party jars to Orbit is easy.
