is it ok to unzip eclipse 3.0 over the existing 2.1 installation, thus
(hopefully) maintaining all existing plugins? I had a quick google but
found nothing.

Most plugins in 2.1 will not work in M5 due to API changes.

You are better off using external plugin directory, this way you don’t
mix plugins that come with eclipse with extra plugins.
You can look at ant script that will do it:
