The update site has also the plugin org.eclipse.compare_3.1.1.jar, which
comes with the eclipse package itself. I wonder why the update site
includes the plugin. Maybe for pre-3.1.1 versions of eclipse...

Hmm, I installed both plugins(btw great additions) without problems.
Unfortunately, the bugzilla plugin eats all my cpu power if it tries
to "retrieve
the bugzilla data".

Better try the -clean option instead of removing the ~/.eclipse folder.
