Answers: 1. Wuff supports two opportunities: dependency as compile project(’:some:subproject’) and dependency as Require-Bundle in MANIFEST.MF. Require-Bundle is automatically translated to project-level dependency, as soon as project tree contains a project with given symbolic-name in manifest. 2. Wuff respects user-defined plugin.xml and manifest, yes. Although these files can be completely omitted - it will generate them as necessary.
