Eclipse Build Inner Workings
Given an archive with Eclipse SDK sources eclipse build will extract the sources and remove all the pre-built OSGI jars, but collects all the OSGI metadata (contained in MANIFEST.MF). Then Eclipse Build tries use jars provided by the system, verifying that versions matches the OSGI information provided in the eclipse sources archive.
