You are a retarded rambling buffoon. Most real developers using eclipse have several different forms of eclipse installed at one time. Each with a different set of customized plugins and such. A j2ee development environment. A jboss development environment. An Android environment. A blackberry enviroment. Etc. Installers are for applications that have dependencies on other applications or libraries. Or for shitty windows programmers who like to write unneeded crap to a windows registry.
