Good solutions to distribute a pre-configured Eclipse?

I am working with a medium team of developers. So far, everyone has its own version of Eclipse, configured with a slightly different set of plugins and with different configuration options. It is normally a pain to set up a new computer as we have to hunt for a bunch of different plugins and configure everything by hand.

Is there a way to create a software distribution that contains:

  • A preconfigured set of plugins
    • Subclipse
    • Checkstyle (Configured)
    • Formatting styles and suggestions
    • ..etc...
  • Custom perspectives
  • Pre-configured repositories for source code
  • Pre-configured projects
  • A preconfigured workset with locations to retrieve the source code from

In an ideal situation, a person just unzips a file, clicks on the Eclipse icon and voila!, everything is just there.

I used to work on a eclipse plugin that allows you to define sets of plugins and distribute them centrally. Check out this link: Tikal Update Manager
