Description

Please provide new goals to build eclipse plugin/feature and site using Eclipse's builder.

See following articles on the topic:

Build and Test Automation for plug-ins and features
http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/automation.html

Followup article - Building features and plugins with Ant
http://eclipse.techforge.com/index.php/articles/188

So, plugin can issue command like this:

set ECLIPSE_HOME=D:\eclipse\eclipse-3.0.2
java -cp %ECLIPSE_HOME%\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile build.xml
-Dcomponent=sdk.examples -Dconfigs=",,*" -Dbaseos=win32 -Dbasews=win32 -Dbasearch=x86 -Djavacfailonerror=true -Dpde.build.scripts=%ECLIPSE_HOME%/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.0.1/scripts -DbaseLocation=%ECLIPSE_HOME%

It will sort of run ant under the hood, but nobody will see it...
