@alirana01 @kolipakakondal please, review

The only problem could be that as soon as Eclipse pushes an update to a newer version, Espressif-IDE will prompt you to update. However, we are not sure whether our plugins are compatible with the latest version or not

Another thing could be that it will prompt you with too many irrelevant updates, which may confuse the user. Obviously, the user don't want install all of them which are not required to run the espressif-ide, we can see if we can solve the same problem with a selective approach.
