Hi again

You *may* be able to install an older version by downloading it from [1]
and putting it in /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/ - (close eclipse before
doing this).

Synaptic and "Ubuntu Software Center" are as I recall APT front-ends, I
would not be surprised if the "Hardware Drivers" thing is as well.

Eclipse has its own system, though I am not sure it is less intelligent.
It is just designed for a different thing. Unlike APT, the Eclipse
install is designed to allow multiple versions of the same software to
be installed.

One of the reason why APT may seem faster is that it creates a
machine-dependent cache, which allows it to "map" its cache into memory
and repair a few pointers.
