Note that for new Eclipse development streams, we only support releases and stable builds. We do not support nightly or integration builds, and we do not support any unofficial or experimental patches. If you load any patches, you do so at your own risk.

Installing the Update Site or Zip editions for Eclipse 3.3 or above requires the full Eclipse SDK including the PDE. Use the Eclipse Classic, Java EE or RCP/Plug-in Developers distribution or install PDE separately.
