I think the whole plugin meh shit has gotten a lot better in 3.2.

The goal of the Callisto Simultaneous Release is to release ten major Eclipse projects at the same time. We are doing this simultaneous release to support the needs of the ecosystem members who integrate Eclipse frameworks into their own software and products. While those product producers naturally accept the ultimate responsibility for their customers' experiences, Callisto's goal is to eliminate uncertainity about project version numbers, and thus to allow ecosystem members to start their own integration, cross-project, and cross-product testing efforts earlier. Callisto is about improving the productivity of the developers working on top of Eclipse frameworks by providing a more transparent and predictable development cycle; Callisto is about developers helping developers serve the whole Eclipse community.

While Callisto is about the simultaneous release of ten projects, it is is not a unification of the projects - each project remains a separate open source project operating with its own project leadership, its own committers, and its own project plan.

The whole system seems very convoluted and complex to me, or is it just a badly organised website/system?

It definatly takes some getting used to, but I find the problem is mostly the poor explanations on the website.

Basically Callisto is just a fancy name the Eclipse people put on the concept of trying to get all of the major projects based on Eclipse to standardize their version numbers and release schedules to make it easier for someone to grab the pieces they want and be sure they all work together.

Each Eclipse project is made up of one or more different features and sets of plugins:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index_project.php

The 'Eclipse Project' is the main one, it contains the Platform (the core stuff), Equinox (the plugin management system), JDT (the Java IDE) and PDT (the IDE for creating plugins). This is all you need to start doing Java or Eclipse development.

All of the other projects are plugins and features that are based on top of the 'Eclipse Project'. New features are made up of one or more plugins and one or more features. Copying the files into the Eclipse Installation Directory/plugins and /features is usually all that is needed for installation.

So if I want to try out the C/C++ variant I get eclipse (which I've got that seems to include java development), equinox and the CDT (c/c++ thing)?

The website is really confusing.
As far as I'm concerned Eclipse is like any other IDE and it's got some nice other plugins that let me edit C, JavaScript, etc.
