A plug-in is built using an Ant build script called build.xml. You create this script from a plugin.xml file by choosing from the context menu Create Ant Build File. When it runs the build script, Ant includes settings from the build.properties file. Open that file in an editor, and add an entry for the bin.includes variable. Add a pattern such as images/*.gif
to add all GIF files in the images directory.
Then, rerun the Ant build script to generate a runtime JAR including the resources you just specified. Check to see whether the created JAR includes the resources you intended.
