How to create an entire Eclipse installation package?

Is it possible to create an Eclipse installation package, that contains a bunch of bundles and plugins? If so, how? (Like the ones that are already being offered by Eclipse.org and also from different vendors with their own projects)

The reason I am asking is, that I find it very time-consuming to install a bunch of software into development environment every time I need a clean installation of Eclipse (based on various reasons, corruptions etc.).

So I would like to install all the software I need at once, and save it somewhere else before working with it (as a backup) and if something goes wrong I can install the entire base installation again without being have to handle all the extra software in it.

Thanks!

One option is to use Yoxos, which allows you to create your own package of Eclipse and easily share it (including with yourself).

Eclipse is downloadable as a zip or tar file, so you can dezip it in a folder, add your favorites plugins (their will be store in the eclipse folder in plugins subfolder) and create a new archive with your modified environment (your eclipse folder).

I think It's the simple way to create a backup.

I hope it may help you, Have a nice day
