IMO, it would make sense to have a link on Central saying "Install additional tools..." or something like that,that would open a dedicated wizard. Compared to other installation experiences in Eclipse and other IDEs, it doesn't make much sense to keep it as a tab in the editor area. I'd be glad to turn it into a dedicated window if you think it's better.{quote}
+1 from me. Eclipse has its own marketplace, m2e has its own marketplace... so why not transform this into something like JBT/JBDS marketplace ;-)

> Now in new Central, there is big Add Tools button which switches central to Software/Update page. 
> Now, I can imagine some people struggling with switching back to Central form Software/Update page. The tabs on bottom are easy to overlook (when it's ones first encountering with central). It would be good IMHO to have some "back" button on Software/Update page.
> With old central it was OK, because switching to Software/Update page required user to notice those tabs on the bottom. No one can be completely unaware of those.
> What do you think?
