Eclipse + brightscript plugin output won't install to Roku

I recently installed Eclipse Juno and added the brightscript plugin. i can manually write my app fine, but when i attempt to package etc, even installing to the roku inside eclipse doesn't show up on the roku. but i take the same app manually and i'm able to just make a zip of the contents and upload it in browser to roku and it shows up fine, packages fine etc. i saw that hidden object check box and i made sure i didn't accidentally tick it. i'm just not seeing a valid reason why it works 1 way and not the other.
