I would like to keep 'extra' plugins in a separate directory from the
plugins shipped with Eclipse. Is this possible ? and if it is what do I
need to do to achieve it ?
I'm sure I came across a reference somewhere on how to do this, I just
can't find it again !!
Thanks

Yes, it is possible.
The easiest way is to do Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration
and from that dialog create a new "Extension Location" into which you
can install plugins (when using the Update Manager to install plugins
one of the steps allows you to choose the location - make sure to select
your new Extension Location instead of the default base Eclipse install
directory).
It is possible to do manually but I don't remember the details.
HTH,
Eric
