Yes, but this is more of a nuisance with all this clicking. It's much
easier to simply copy over the directory if this really works. What I
did right noch was to create a directory "wolips-deps/eclipse" and
inside eclipse an empty file ".eclipseextension". Then I copy all the
deps over to wolips-deps/eclipse/features" and "wolips-deps/eclipse/
plugins" and add this location in the IDE. This makes it easier to
drop and re-install or try updates.

eclipse-plugins-separate/
What unfortunately doesn't work is to directly build into a plugin
directory. The problem I have is that I must update the
buildserver.version, rebuild "clean dist" then remove the old "temp/
dist", re-add it again and then install. It should be possible to
simply write over the installed plugins with the same version number...
Cheers, Anjo
