How to use Eclipse plugins inside regular Java project?

I have a EMF project with an Ecore model, and I exported it as an Eclipse Plugin. Now I want to reuse this plugin (the plugin exported Java packages) inside a regular Java project (using Eclipse).

I created a Java project, and tried to use the option Build Path > Add Libraries > Plugin Dependencies but it shows an empty plugin list and I cant add entries.

The created Java project have no META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and I have not found a way to create it automatically.

How can I add a dependency to my exported plugin? Do I need to create a special kind of project?

You need to create a Plugin Project. So you can edit your MANIFEST.MF and add the generated plugin as a dependency.

Lars Vogel has a good tutorial that covers how to do it in EMF context.
