Ok I could use the menu help-Software Updates->Find and install... 
to add/update new features to an Eclipse installation. 
 
However is there a way to add/update features manually? 
 
Assume I have downloaded a *.zip file with a new feature. 
Can I simply extract it to the Eclipse directory tree? 
Is the new feature automatically recognized by a running Eclipse 
or do I have to re-boot Eclipse? 
 
Do I have (in addition to the copy operation) "register" somewhere the new/update feature 
or does Eclipse recognize the add/update feature automatically? 
 
Do I have to extract only the "plugin" sub-folder or the "features" sub-folder as well?
