How do i add or install a eclipse plugin?

How do i add a eclipse plugin?

I miss a clean way like mozilla handles plugins.

The update sites inside eclipse itself seem to be slow or don't even answer and the search for plugins stalls.

So i went out to find the plugins myself. I wonder why every 'plugin' comes along with its own 100 MB package.. or as a fully fledged SDK or something.. are these plugins?

How do i get them into my eclipse?

...explains well the manual way to install eclipse plugins. Also describes an "easy" way, which I have never tried. You may also find useful info in the comments.

Can you help with this problem?
