Regarding the multiple packages, I believe those locations are hardcoded into the plugins. I will take a look and see if there is anything we can do.

In addition to the CANTalon problem we were seeing a weird eclipse error where the code would not compile if the plugins were not installed completely when eclipse started. The problem would be fixed by either generating a new blank robot project or going through each .java file and saving it again.

If you change your HOME environment variable and then fix up things inside eclipse, you can do it. I'd suggest instead just keeping a backup of the ~/wpilib directory and swapping it as needed. If you also have two eclipse instances, each with a different version installed, you can just delete the ~/wpilib directory and then let them restore it.

Replacing the wpilib folder to match whichever installation we were running worked. Thanks!
