It's currently just using the JARs that upstream includes.  This is
similar to how it's done now with the srcIncluded zips.  I expect
distros will symlink to their system copies during the build and again
after unpacking the resulting zip (since ant doesn't retain symlinks
AFAIK).

I'm open to suggestions of better ways to do this.

I don't think so.  Looking at the existing Fedora .spec for lines
beginning with BuildRequires/Requires is probably easiest:

  http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/eclipse/devel/eclipse.spec?revision=1.643&view=markup

It would be useful to document these somewhere under:

  http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project

You need a bugs.eclipse.org account to edit.

Thanks,
