Hi,
I am feeling really dumb right now because I've been searching the Eclipse
Help, the Eclipse plug-in site and the Eclipse site for about an hour to
find out how to intstall an Eclipse plug-in and can't find any information
on how to do it. I am betting I have to do something with the .jar file
that came with the plug-in I downloaded (CSS Editor,
http://www.eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?i d=482), but
I'm not sure (and am not sure what that would be, either).
I am feeling even more dumb because I can't figure out how to search this
newsgroups' archives to see if this question has been answered before! I
am using the web interface...please let me know if I'm missing a way to do
this.
Thanks,
Allison

Murphy's law...as soon as I posted this I found the answer. From the in
the Workbench User Guide -> Tasks -> Upgrading Eclipse section of the
Eclipse help:
Adding third party plug-ins
If you have installed extra plug-ins in your Eclipse environment, you will
need to add these new plug-ins to each new build or version of Eclipse you
install. Before you do this, refer to the documentation for those plug-ins
to ensure they are compatible with the version of Eclipse you are moving
to. There are several ways to add these extra plug-ins to your new Eclipse
install:
Copy the directories for each plug-in into the "plugins" directory of your
new Eclipse version.
Use an Eclipse update site to re-install those extra plug-ins or features
in the new version of Eclipse.
If you are using product extensions, simply copy the "links" directory
into the new Eclipse version install directory. For more details on
product extensions, see the documentation in the Platform Plug-in
Developer Guide, under Programmer's Guide > Packaging and delivering
Eclipse based products > Product extensions.
This really should be in the Eclipse FAQ...
