I have been using the Eclipse platform for Java, javaEE, c++, python and PHP - in various school projects. Now that I am a bit more comfortable with it I would like to have some more accurate instructions on how to set it up. I am on windows7 - I had dropped the eclipse itself in my Dropbox and created workspaces as needed but this ended up in a chaos of settings spread here and there and in various bugs (which showed up when I tried to update to Juno - now features like templates are broken).
So what is the recommended way of setting eclipse up for various languages ? Should I download the latest release, add the plugins I need (cdt, pdt etc) and then create different workspaces for the different languages (like eclipse_python, eclipse_java, eclipse_javaEE, etc )? How do you set Eclipse up ?
