Can anyoen tell me the key files to move 10s of personal Eclipse
projects to a new machine? I have moved the source trees,
but how do I teach Eclipse about all the projects I have?

On the original machine, you have somewhere a workspace directory that
Eclipse is using (the default location is
<eclipse-install-dir>/workspace, but it asked you the first time you
started Eclipse). Copy that directory to the new machine. If the
dreictory structure of the new one is exactly the same as the old one,
you can probably copy the entire Eclipse directory structure. Otherwise,
install Eclipse on the new machine and when starting it for the first
time tell it to use the workspace directory that you copied from the old
machine.

For the record, the choices for telling Eclipse where the workspace
is located are:
1. setting the start-in dir of the icon, c:\mydev\
where mydev contains \workspaces
1a. invoke it from the command line while working dir is the same dir.
2. use the -data switch to accomplish the same as start-in dir, but
include workspace in the path.
3. In 3.x setting the same value in the IDE via the new menu option.
