If you can, the best way is to use Eclipse's add/update facitlity. I believe you just have to add the java classes to Eclipse. I haven't added a plugin manually in a long time. Wheat I would do is put it in a folder somewhere outside of eclipse and use the add/update option. You can do that, but keep in mind that it won't automatically check for updates that way. I would suggest pointing it to the file location on the site.

The directions said to copy it to my eclipse directory. It wanted to replace some files that were already there so I did and then Eclipse stopped working. Reinstalled Eclipse and restored my projects and I put the SQL Explorer directory and files into the plugins directory. Question now is how do I install the plug in?
