What version of the eclipse plugin is required for this to work? I'm
using 1.4 and was expecting to see something like the following in my
project's .project.xml:
<projectDescription>
...
<projects>
<project>eman.infra.jms</project>
</projects>
...
</projectDescription>
The project "reference" was never created for me.
