I usually use dropins for sharing plugins amongst multiple Eclipse installations.
See this articlefor the dropins directory within an Eclipse.
我通常使用 dropins 在多个 Eclipse 安装之间共享插件。
请参阅本文以了解 Eclipse 中的 dropins 目录。
you can use some different structures to place the plug-ins into the Dropins folder – I prefer to separate them by domain:
您可以使用一些不同的结构将插件放入 Dropins 文件夹中——我更喜欢按域将它们分开：
/dropins/exampleA/plugins/…
/dropins/exampleB/plugins/…
/dropins/exampleC/eclipse/features/…
/dropins/exampleC/eclipse/plugins/…
But I prefer to reference an externaldropins folder through the eclipse.ini.
但我更喜欢通过 eclipse.ini引用外部dropins 文件夹。

The plugins/featuresdirectories in Eclipse are the default installation directories for plugin.
For more on the differences between features and plugins, see my SO answer:
在plugins/features在Eclipse目录是对插件的默认安装目录。
有关功能和插件之间差异的更多信息，请参阅我的SO 答案：
- you will copy features (declaration of a group of plugins) in the
featuresdirectory - you will copy the actual plugins themselves in the
pluginsdirectory.
- 您将在
features目录中复制功能（一组插件的声明） - 您将在
plugins目录中复制实际的插件本身。
Within a dropin folder (either the one within eclipse or an external one), you will get back the same plugins/featurestructure.
在 dropin 文件夹中（eclipse 中的文件夹或外部文件夹），您将返回相同的plugins/feature结构。

The dropins directory should be used to install a plugin manually. The typical process is that you download a plugin and extract that archive to the dropins directory.
dropins 目录应该用于手动安装插件。典型的过程是您下载插件并将该存档解压缩到 dropins 目录。
The plugins directory on the other hand is reserved for Eclipse's updater. You should not mess with it manually. Eclipse will store all plugins you install using "Help"->"Software Updates" or "Help"->"Install new software" (depending on your Eclipse version).
另一方面，插件目录是为 Eclipse 的更新程序保留的。你不应该手动弄乱它。Eclipse 将存储您使用“帮助”->“软件更新”或“帮助”->“安装新软件”（取决于您的 Eclipse 版本）安装的所有插件。
