Video showing how to use Eclipse for FRC 2013 development without plugins

[NotInControl]

Not stealing my thunder. I believe those links have always been there, and the Eclipse plugin, even the one for 2012 was always experimental (Although I used it all of 2012 without any problems).

As far as I know, there are no 2013 eclipse plugins experimental or otherwise.

The difference here, is that if you install the plugins from the link you posted you will be installing the 2012 plugin, not the 2013. And because First decides to place the new SunSpotSDK in the plugin, you will be installing the 2012, SDK, with the 2012 templates.

The 2013 classes are a little different, they include the new network tables implementations, the Taylon motor controller classes, as well as other updates. There are also 3 Jar files to incorporate in your class as opposed to 2 in 2012.

So you can install the 2012 plugins if you like, but all it will be good for is getting the build and deploy links (which cant be modified). Be sure to replace the sunspotfrcsdk folder with the 2013 version, and use the 2013 templates because they call new classes.
