Can anyone get the new marketplace drag n' drop to work with Eclipse Indigo?

I am on a new mac and cannot get eclipse to install marketplace plugins by dragging n' dropping them onto eclipse. I have tried using both Safari and Firefox, but neither of them work.

Is there a certain place/section they have to be dropped to, or is there an alternative way to install the plugins?

Without the emacs+ plugin I am useless.

Thanks.

For me on Windows, I can get drag-n-drop to work if I drop on the menu/toolbar area or some views. It doesn't work for drops on the editor area or some of the views that define their own drag-n-drop behaviors.

Try Help -> Eclipse Marketplace if you cannot get drag-n-drop to work. Search and install from that dialog.
