I'm constantly trying new versions of Eclipse. I tend to be a fresh-install-reinstall-plugins kind of guy rather than a check-for-updates kind of guy. There always seems less that can go wrong when you reinstall everything from scratch each time, plus it's a chance to clean out all those temp folders. Of course there are a few drawbacks like having to keep tweaking your configuration settings but over all I prefer it this way.

The locations of plugins are the main things that I need to remember. Some versions of Eclipse come without the Market Place which is now itself a plugin! So I'm creating this blog to help me remember all the plugins I like to use.
