Updating plugins without using Update Sites, etc? [message #63045]

If I've installed a plugin by simply unZipping it into the plugin
directory and then installed a new version by simply unZipping it as
well, do I have to do anything either before or when bringing up
Eclipse the next time to make sure the environment is updated
correctly?

The plugin may not have a new version.

Bert, many plugin authors explicitly state whether prior versions need to be
uninstalled. I don't know that plugins installed by unzipping may be
disabled/deleted via Help/Software/Manage Configs... Aftering
installing/uninstalling plugins it's a good idea to star eclipse at least
once via the commandline, using its -clean arg.

Eg: eclipse.exe -clean
