Hi, for vim, there's vim-addon-manager to enable or disable vim plugins for each individual user. This makes a lot of sense, since vim plugins are of varying quality and you may not force all users to use a plugin.
Plugins are still installed as regular debian packages, but only enabled via symlinks in $HOME/.vim or on selection system wide via symlinks to /usr/share/vim/...(?). I'm not experienced enought with eclipse to know, whether such a setup would make sens for eclipse too. However what surely makes sense, would be the ability to install plugins not only as debian packages, but also via the eclipse update mechanism. I've seen, that there formerly was a possibility to declare external plugin locations for eclipse with a "links" subfolder. But this is deprecated now and can only be reenabled with a config setting[1]. Does anybody know an equivalent way to use additional plugin locations?
