I am on a new mac and cannot get eclipse to install marketplace plugins by dragging n' dropping them onto eclipse. I have tried using both Safari and Firefox, but neither of them work.
Is there a certain place/section they have to be dropped to, or is there an alternative way to install the plugins?
Without the emacs+ plugin I am useless.
Thanks.

In recent versions of MyEclipse, the Eclipse Marketplace may not be accessible. Once done, restart the IDE to apply the changes. You should now see the Eclipse Marketplace entry in the Help > Install from Catalog dialog. This is caused due to the fact that the Eclipse Marketplace API now requires HTTPS.
From within the Eclipse IDE, you can search the market place by using the Eclipse Marketplace dialog which can be invoked by clicking on the Help menu and selecting Eclipse Marketplace. In the screenshot above, to install PyDev-Python IDE for Eclipse , just click on the Install button.
Eclipse traditionally puts plugins in the Eclipse install location in a 'plugins' directory. If that location is not writeable then a . eclipse directory in the user's home directory is used.
The drag and drop option does not work for IE. I would suggest using Chrome. I experienced the same issue a few times. from other browsers.

For me on Windows, I can get drag-n-drop to work if I drop on the menu/toolbar area or some views. It doesn't work for drops on the editor area or some of the views that define their own drag-n-drop behaviors.
Try Help -> Eclipse Marketplace if you cannot get drag-n-drop to work. Search and install from that dialog.
