I am using eclipse indigo. And I have kepler version's plugins which are needed for my project. Can I just copy-paste them in the plugins folder of eclipse indigo which I am currently using now?
In general, No, you can't use plugins from newer versions of Eclipse in an older release. Some plugins might work but the combination will not have been tested.

I am working on a project in eclipse Juno. And I see that Eclipse has a latest version as Luna.
Can I directly Shift my Juno Project to Luna.?
or
do I have to make some changes.?
This depends on how large your project is, and how many technologies it uses.
I did this for an enterprise project, and the steps were pretty straightforward:
Setup the Luna IDE (i.e. install all necessary software from update sites and such)
Copy-paste your Juno workspace (keep the old one)
Launch Luna IDE with pasted workspace. Check for any compile errors.
If all is okay, then switch JDK7 to JDK8, and change the workspace compiler to 1.8
I would suggest to import the project in a new workspace with Eclipse Luna, then try to install all the plugins you need and check the project setup so that everything works.
With this way you always can open the old working workspace with Eclipse Juno while you're doing the migration.
Now I am using Eclipse Kepler Version: 3.9.1.201308190730, but i don't how to configure "CodePro AnalytiX" plugin in Eclipse Kepler. Is it possible to configure "CodePro AnalytiX" in my current Eclipse Kepler?
And is "CodePro AnalytiX" plugin the correct tool for testing code perfomance? Otherwise suggest any other tool for code testing.
-Open Eclipse Kepler
-Help -> install new software
-enter this URL:

If you are looking for older versions of the plugin, click here.
If you are having trouble installing from the update sites (due to firewall issues, for instance), you can install the Google Plugin for Eclipse by downloading and installing an archive of the update site.
Yes Its compatible for eclipse version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Downloaded Eclipse J2EE Kepler now and wanted to install the Maven plugin from Market place.
But I keep getting this error in the picture:
So this plugin not working anymore? Is there any other recommended plugin to install?
If you look at the m2e-wtp site you'll find that this feature is installed by default in the Eclipse Kepler distribution. So it's not removed, but just already included in the installation. Moreover, they (finally) upgraded it from incubation to 1.0 version. Enjoy it!
m2e-wtp graduated from the Eclipse incubator to reach version 1.0.0. Moreover, m2e-wtp and m2e are now included in the Eclipse Java EE distribution by default. m2e-wtp 1.0.0 adds Java EE 7 support in Kepler and a few other new cool features.
This error means it is already installed in your IDE.
IF any updates are released by M2E tools then it can be updated like you did or if you click on 'Check for Updates'.

How do I install marketplace on Eclipse ide for java ee developers? I'm using Eclipse Platform v3.3.2. I want marketplace to install Glassfish, Subversion and other tools.
If you look at the Marketplace Download page, you will see that the first version supported is Helios, Eclipse 3.6. So I don't think that the Marketplace could work with your installation Europe, Eclipse 3.3.2. You have to hunt for all the things you need in an older version, at least for Subversion you should find it.
The better option would be to update at least to Eclipse 3.7.
I'm working for a long time with Eclipse Helios 3.6 and have a lot of plugins installed from the Eclipse webpage. Now, I wanted switch to the Eclipse Version Juno 4.2
My question: Can I use the old plugins from my Helios or must I reinstall the plugins ?
I am not too sure, but Eclipse should be backwards compatible. Just add the update site for Eclipse 4.2, run the upgrade and the plugins should continue to work. Sometimes features (that are possibly used by the plugins) are marked as deprecated, but I think they are not removed from Eclipse.
Other than that: You could make a backup (or a simple copy) and try it out to be sure.
