Defining builders in multiple plugins

Is it possible to add two builders to two different plugins?

My scenario is this. I had a plugin-A that defines nature-A and builder-1 and builder-2, when I created project with this nature, project would get these builders.

Later I introduced another plugin-B that defines nature-B and the same builder-1 and builder-2 as plugin-A. Now when I create project defined by plugin-B, I don't see builder-1 and builder-2 added in .project file. If I remove builders definitions from plugin-A, then project created with plugin-B gets the builders, but not project created with plugin-A.

What is the designer pattern on builder reuse between two plugins?

It is probably best to define another nature and put the builders in that nature.

The other two natures can use the requires-nature element to specify that they require the nature with the builders.
