Thanks. I found that. I also found that you can specify other places, so
I decided to use /usr/local/share/eclipse for plugins that aren't
installed via RPM.
My question was really more along the lines of:
The Subclipse plugin instructions say you don't need to download anything,
just do the install in Eclipse. But if I do that as a normal user, how
can I install in a location owned by root and not world writable? Would I
get prompted for a password or something?
I worked around the issue by starting Eclipse as root and doing the
install there. It appears to load fine as a normal user, but I haven't
tested it yet. The only odd thing was, when I created the directory in
the GNOME file browser it got permissions of 754, and I had to fix that by
hand.

How should one install Eclipse plugins in FC4 so that they are available
system-wide?
TIA.
