[IDV #DHW-747712]: how to include favorites directories in Plugin creator?

I think you can do it in the command line way. Here is an example of display 
template bundle.xml:

<bundles>
  <bundle category="General" name="nam-t" type="display" 
url="Generalnam-t.xidv"/>
</bundles>


It can be very tricky when there are a lot display template bundles included. 
What you need is to generate a jar file including all display template xidv 
files and a bundle.xml
file like above
