Eclipse plugin management is the worst steaming pile of %$%# that I have ever used. It really is a terrible piece of software. Somehow, people still hold up eclipse as good code, especially the plugin stuff. I just dont get it. Completely agreed.

You know you wouldn't have had to write this wall of text if you'd been using a certain ide made by JetBrains -- Imagine how much code you could have written instead.
