Join For FreePlug-in Manifest Builder or in short, manifest builder is contributed by PDE through org.eclipse.pde.core plug-in. This is the builder that would compile your plug-in each you change plug-in dependencies, modify build.properties, change classpath, add or remove libraries, save your code/classes. It compiles the plug-in and validate that required files (plugin.xml, etc) are in place and in correct shape.
You may have a look at org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.builders.ManifestConsistencyChecker for the exact details.
The Plug-in Manifest Compiler preference page has a bunch of options that control the problem severity generated by the builder.
