How to copy plugins between two eclipses

eclipse

Solution

I'm not sure when it was introduced, but in Eclipse 3.7 you can install plug-ins from another Eclipse installation via the GUI: `File->Import->Install->From Existing Installation`. You can also transfer the list of update sites. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/10494974/14379

Problem

I have two eclipse directories, both are Galileo. One has plugin A installed, the another has plugin B. Now I want to have just one eclipse, is it save to just copy the plugins directory from one of the eclipses to the other?
