You should be able to get away with downloading only the Platform
Runtime Binary (which does not include the plugin SDK or JDT) and is
generally around 24 MB. The full Eclipse download is up to 80+MB now
with the platform and plugin SDK, and the JDT included - so if you're
only doing Ruby, we strongly recommend trying to get versions without
the SDKs and JDT. If you're doing Java and Ruby but don't plan to write
plugins or platform code, then download the Platform Runtime Binary and
the JDT Runtime Binary. The downloads for the Platform runtime Binary
are named like so:
eclipse-platform-3.x-OS.zip

Once Eclipse is installed, you can use Eclipse's Software Update feature
to install plugins such as ours, RDT.

Run Eclipse
Select Help->Software Update->Find and Install
Select "Search for new features" and click Next
Click New Remote Site
Enter the name RDT and URL http://rubyeclipse.sf.net/updatesite
Make sure the RDT checkbox is selected
Click the Next button
(The rest of the install should now be obvious...)

We always aim for the latest stable release (currently Eclipse 3.1M3),
but any 3.x release should be fine.

Thanks,
Chris
