Hi Paul,
I find it beneficial to use Eclipse together with the build system
Maven, for my medium sized project, ShapeLogic that is using more than
one unit test per plugin and is using several third party jar.
The advantages are:
* All the unit tests live in a different directory and are not
included when you build you plugin jar file
* It is simple to include external jar files and update them to use
newer version just by changing the version number
* You can run all your unit tests from command line using Maven or run
an individual unit test from Eclipse for debugging
* It is simple to build a plugin jar file from command line
The disadvantages are that it is more work to set up and more tools to
learn, so it is overkill to use Maven for small project.
I wrote a little description about how I set it up here
