LOL. No!  I think you are missing the point being made.

Here is a listing of org.eclipse.* files from hibernate tools:

Note you are not distributing a full version of WTP only a verbatim copy of the pre-requisites you require for hibernate tools to function.  The extra files would probably account for less than 200K in the HibernateTools distribution.

If you are going to re-distribute features from WTP at least do so in their original form not a bastardized version.  The original form has both plugins/* files and features/* files.  This way you can correctly make use of <import ...> and break away from <plugin ...>.

For update site purposes you simply mark out in the site.xml all the available features from that download site.

For sorceforge download purposes you simply include the relevant features/* files in the HibernateTools-XYZ.zip

Then you are compatible with the way the original feature was distributed.

Ideally your update site has each feature in a seperate JAR file and the site.xml and update manager works out a list of files it needs to satisfy all pre-requisite requriements (for fine grained downloading).  But the first step on the road to that is to properly re-distribute your pre-requisites so they can be detected and seen as equivalent features by the platform.
