To be a little less brief, you can reuse workspaces but you can't reuse
installations. Lots of people have tried to just unzip in the same
location; it doesn't work.

Oh, and ask questions like this on eclipse.platform and nobody will need
to forgive you.

How about only upgrading when there's a need to upgrade. If Eclipse
works for you, you don't need to upgrade every time there's a new RC, or
milestone. Saves you a lot of work :)

Are you running on Windows or Linux? I ask because the Debian Eclipse
packages (which are a bit out of date now being 2.x) had an interesting
little trick which was to put the plugins in a separate directory and then
symlink them to the right place. That was you could simply install a new
RC and symlink in all the plugins to the new version.

Hi Seybaa,

you can install your plug-ins in an external folder. I found an tutorial
on the net but can't remember the link :-(

In brief, here is what to do:

create a folder with the following structure:
<somewhere>/myplugins
+-eclipse
+-features
+-plugins
+-.eclipseextension

The ".eclipseextension" file must contain the following lines:
name=My Plugins
id=com.unique.identifier
version=1.0.0

Install you plug ins in the "<somewhere>/myplugins/eclipse" folder.

In your eclipse installation create a folder named "links" (e.g.
<elsewhere>/eclipse/links)

Add a file named "myplugins.link" to the "links" folder.
The file must contain the following lines:
path=<somewhere>/myplugins

Now you can work with more than one eclipse installation without
installing the plug-ins again and again.

Hope this is what you where looking for.
Jens
