oops;

This depends on the version of Eclipse. For 3.4 (not 3.4.1, found in the java-overlay overlay), the old Update Manager must be enabled. Enable it under Window > Preferences > General > Capabilities. In any case, updates are found under Help > Software Updates. Plugins and features are installed to the home directory.
