I'd add to that advice that you might want to create separate workspaces
for each type of work you're doing. For example, I have a workspace just
for Android projects, another for Spring/JEE projects, and a third for
the occasional PHP stuff I need to work on.
The reason for this, beyond just keeping organized, is that Eclipse will
only load the plugins that are needed based on what you are doing, so
having separate workspaces makes it more likely that Eclipse doesn't
load unneeded plugins when you're not working on that type of thing. For
example, when I'm working on a Spring JEE app I don't need or want the
Android plugins being activated.
