A new version of Eclipse just came out. Is there anything I can do to avoid having to manually hunt down my plugins again?

Question

Galileo came out the other day, and even though plugins under Eclipse are, IMO, just a little bit easier to deal with than Netbeans, it would still be really awesome if ther

I do this:

Not sure how well I like the approach yet - I'm still trying it out. Essentially, I can create a patch of each plugin install, and the apply it to the new version.

Plus, I use this approach on other products, so I can use the same process everywhere.
