The short answer is to start with the most complicated and comprehensive
one, for example, JEE, then use Help -> Install New Software, change
Work with to "--All Available Sites--" and look around for what you
want. (I don't this; I hope I'm steering you to the best solution if you
decide to do it. There may be good ways and better ways in how you do it.)

There are two camps, equally entrenched over this issue.

I belong to the camp that says, as long as I'm not trying to write an
application that somehow mixes C/C++ code with Java, why would I want to
encumber Eclipse with both Java/JEE and C/C++ at once? I'll just use
separate Eclipse installations for each, totally separate undertaking. I
originally began doing this because installing the Android SDK once
destabilized my Eclipse JEE and made it useless.

This said, the other camp points out that when you launch Eclipse and
avoid using, e.g.: Eclipse CDT plug-ins while doing Java/JEE work, those
plug-ins aren't loaded anyway and therefore do not weigh upon Eclipse
(or destabilize it). I trust them completely in this.

I just have no objection to sacrificing a few hundred megabytes on my
system to two or three separate installations. In my case, JEE and
Android (I don't use Eclipse for much else). I also have separate Helios
and Galileo installations though I've pretty well weaned myself off the
older version; soon, I'll begin my first tentative steps into Indigo
while hanging on my Helios installations.

I keep my Android projects in one or more Android-only workspaces, so
it's convenient not to have to switch workspaces every time I launch.
Also, I can have both up simultaneously. You just need to think about
what's important to you and, in the end, it's pretty arbitrary.

Best of luck in and welcome to using Eclipse, the best Swiss Army knife
among IDEs!
