I’ve been an Eclipse user since somewhere around 2002 and one of the things that has really annoyed me over all of that time is how hands on managing the IDE’s environment has been. I dreaded having to switch out computers or start all over with Eclipse when I changed jobs. It was back to the find and install plugin mambo each and every time. It appears that there are some new tools on the horizon that are trying to help developers in just this situation. Each of them tries to ease the developers life a little bit by taking away the pain and agony of setting up Eclipse.
