If the plugin has a build.properties, pde should have warnings if build.properties does not "match" the plugin. Examples: The plugin has a source directory that is not listed in build.properties. Bad result: your built plugin will not contain all the classes you though it would. Leads to class not found problems. The plugin.xml or MANIFEST.MF specifies a jar name (library name attribute or Bundle-ClassPath) that does not match what is in build.properties. Bad result: plugins depending on your plugin will have class not found problems. There are probably other build.properties validations that make sense. These problems should be preferenced so they appear as Error, Warning, (or are ignored) like the java compiler settings allow. However, the default should be warning.
