I have two eclipse directories, both are Galileo. One has plugin A installed, the another has plugin B. Now I want to have just one eclipse, is it save to just copy the plugins directory from one of the eclipses to the other?

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.
You can easily run a plug-ins in another instance of Eclipse by selecting Run > Run As > Run-time Workbench. This will launch a new workbench on the same Java runtime as your development workbench, with all plug-ins in your current workspace enabled, and starting in a special runtime workspace.
I'm not sure when it was introduced, but in Eclipse 3.7 you can install plug-ins from another Eclipse installation via the GUI: File->Import->Install->From Existing Installation. You can also transfer the list of update sites. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/10494974/14379
