Description
Eclipse[1][2] is an open source community whose projects are focused on providing an extensible development platform and application frameworks for building software. Eclipse provides extensible tools and frameworks that span the software development lifecycle, including support for modeling, language development environments for Java, C/C++ and others, testing and performance, business intelligence, rich client applications and embedded development. A large, vibrant ecosystem of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse Platform.

HowTos
Creating a local extension location
To add plugins to the Eclipse IDE you need to create an extension location that is writeable for your user. The directory structure for an extension location looks like this:
~/.eclipse/
eclipse/
.eclipseextension
features/
plugins/
The location ".eclipse" is just an example, you can create it anywhere. The file ".eclipseextension" must have the following content:
id=org.eclipse.platform name=Eclipse Platform version=3.1.1
where version should match your used eclipse version. To make eclipse recognize the new extension location, go to "Help"->"Software Updates"->"Manage Configuration" and add the location.
More tips on managing extension and workspace locations can be found here: [[4]]
