Since NBEclipse is based on Eclipse, it make sense that we could install Eclipse plugins. However, I'm worried about breaking things. What has everyone else's experience been?

YES. I've used the install provided by NB with additional plug-ins with no major problems but the automated way of installing/updating plug-ins isn't supported and every time you download a new NNDK you have to reinstall your plug-ins.

A couple of releases back NetBurner I started using the Galileo for C++ Developers release of Eclipse and then installed the NB plug-ins into that by dragging and dropping. (There are three plug-ins and a folder that I move over, there is nothing in the Features folder to move) This has been working flawlessly for me. I can use all the automated update tool under the help menu to keep everything current. I use subclipse (for integrated SVN support) and an HTML and JavaScript plug-in editor.

One thing to note is that using the automated update tool will NOT update you to the latest NNDK or the latest NNDK Eclipse plug-ins.

Where do I find those plugins? I've found the complete download executable on the support site. Are they packaged inside?

Yes, the only way I know to get them is to run the executable. Then look in
C:\nburn\eclipse\plugins

Grab the folder named nbeclipse.doc_2.3.7 and the three files whose names start with
nbeclipse.

and drag a copy of them to the Galileo plug-in folder, which on my system looks like this
C:\Program Files\eclipse_galileo\eclipse\plugins

That's all I had to do. I did this first before I installed any additional Eclipse plug-ins and I tested. Then I backed up that folder and started adding additional plug ins.

I appreciate it. Thanks!
