I create a lib folder in my plugin project, put the files there,
and then edit the plugin.xml config to specify that the lib directory should be in the
plugin classpath,(on the Runtime tab) and in the binary build of the plugin jar file. (on the Build tab)

after the site.xml build of the jar file you can examine the contents (I use winrar) to make sure the
files are placed properly before deploying the site to the rtc server.

You should be able to put it as jar into the plug in, make it callable in the plugin.xml and you would need to include it into the build configuration in the plugin.xml. I have no example currently but I know other have done it.

I would suggest to search Eclipse.org for this e.g. using http://www.google.de/search?q=eclipse+plugins+external+libraries since this is really a standard Eclipse question.
