Some of the base eclipse plugins store a copy of every file in your 
workspace, and others store extra copies for providing local history 
information.  So if you have a lot of files in your workspace, then there 
are some plugins that will "mirror" those files in the 
workspace\.metadata\.plugins folder.

View the properties of each of those folders one at a time.  You will 
probably find that the majority of the space is coming from just one or 
two of those folders.  At least for the history, I think there are some 
preferences that control how much it stores.
