title: Backup Eclipse plugins and settings
body: <p>I'm using Eclipse and have plenty of plugins installed and configured to my needs. Is there any good way to backup these plugins and the configuration of them. I want to be able to replay these plugins in futures eclipse version (as long as they are compatible) and on different PCs.</p>
  
  <p>I know I could simply archive the whole <code>eclipse/</code> folder, but I find this a little inelegant. </p>
