I want to add .jar files for plugin from the Runtime tab of manifest file. When I use the add button, I can see only sub-directories of the plugin project. So if I want to add same .jar file to more than one plugin project where should I store the .jar files.

Look into creating a feature. That way the feature can be referenced by multiple plugin.

I meant go read up on creating a feature for your shared .jar files. It makes it easier to share .jars between plugins. IBM has an article about writing Eclipse features (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ecplug/).

Normally you create a separate plugin for the jar file that exports the packages provided by the jar. Then the other plugins depend on this. That is how junit is handled by eclipse.
