Eclipse exports an empty plugin

Question

I wrote a plugin for eclipse ( knime ). But the jar generated by eclipse doesn't contain any class:

jar tvf plugins/fr.inserm.umr915.knime4ngs.nodes_1.0.0.jar
     0 Thu May 19 08:45:26 CEST 2011 META-INF/
  2543 Thu May 19 08:45:24 CEST 2011 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
  7941 Thu May 19 08:45:24 CEST 2011 plugin.xml

here is the content of my manifest:

Just to add information, a common build.properties file for a plugin (with a standard project/src directory has 3 properties defined:

source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
bin.includes = plugin.xml,\
           META-INF/,\
           .,\
           icons/

source.. and output.. defined the source and output location for .. the .,\ in bin.includes tells eclipse to include the . library when exporting.
