These days, when experimenting with misc. new tools (Eclipse 2.1 /
3.0Mx), WSDD, Rational XDE, Aurora, etc. one ends having multiple
Eclipse environments installed, so I found myself importing existing
projects into the next tool and redefining several settings (e.g.
classpath variables) over and over again.
Is there no cheaper way to do that? What do I need to copy over from
one eclipse to the next to make all my projects and settings known
again? (I keep all my projects in a different subtree outside of
eclipse, i.e. not in the standard workspace, in case this matters).

That's not the way to do it. The way I just did it at work is:
1
unzip/untar eclipse to a destination on e.g. your desktop, then rename the
eclipse environment to its version number - don't start it up just yet
2
make sure you have the right features & plugins in your new setup (create a
folder or text files with your standardised plugins first), you should be
able to do this by copying the non-eclipse features and plugins to your new
setup
3
make a backup of your workspace folder (idealy this should NOT be in the
default eclipse folder)
4
call eclipse with -data <workspace> to your default workspace
5
.....

Yes, see above, you already had the workspace thingy figured out, as I can
see. Note that M8 has better workspace support, but it's still under
development (well, yes, duh, as you might say :).
