    Moin Anjo,

    all I would say about the evil extenion folders: "I hate them and
    don't use them. "

    After all these years with frameworks I don't get why people are
    willed to go back to the "dll" hell.

    Just my two cents.

    To use them in Eclipse just add a Container to the classpath. It's
    called "User Library".
