eclipse plugins install location?

If you install using the update dialog, there is an option asking if you 
want to install the plugin to a directory other than the standard plugin 
direcotry /usr/share/eclipse.  A normal user can't install there but if 
you specify a directory in your home path (I chose ~/.eclipse) then it 
will work.
