This is certainly much closer to what is in the existing system (given
that the jar files would probably better be in plugins/files/*.jar).
The name 'meta-eclipse' would probably be less confusing to me personally
as 'eclipse-plugins-loader' or something, 'meta' is a term that can
mean everything or nothing.  And if you change 'eclipsemainv' to just
'eclipseY.Z' and 'plugins' to 'eclipse-plugins' then that's very similar
to what we have now.

Then there's the matter of whether all this needs to be its own
category but I don't think I am going to try to talk you out of that
idea.  I'm not too fond of it, personally.
