How to export installed plugins from eclipse?
I want to use some of my installed plugins in another eclipse machine.
I don't want to download those again.

You can drop multiple link files, which means, you can maintain sets of plugins and drop them into different Eclipse installations (which is more flexible than using a shared dropins). More information: More details on link files (though seriously prehistoric article).
You can export the list of the features and plugins by going to File->Export->Install.
Start fresh and install plugins from an old install
The idea here is that you want to keep your old install intact, download a new indigo package (http://download.eclipse.org/) and just adds the existing plugins to your install. With Indigo this is now made super easy!
Step 1: Download and unzip your Indigo install: http://download.eclipse.org
Step 2: Import your plug-ins from your previous install by doing File > Import > Install > From existing install, pick your old install, select the plug-ins and there you go! You can chose to go piece meal, or chose to pick several entries, in any event dependency analysis will be performed to check the validity of the install.
Step 3: Click next a couple times and patiently wait for the bytes to download to your machine. Then restart and enjoy!
