Wow, the newest RDi is based on an 2 year old IDE. Current stable
Eclipse is 3.6, and they put a new one out every June. Seems like
IBM would try to make the plugins a bit more compatible to where they
support more versions of Eclipse. It's not like the Eclipse API is
totally broken with each release.

In all fairness, it's really hard to keep current if you're trying to track a moving target.

PLUS, Eclipse has (in the past) made some major changes to their framework between releases (the most major was done between Eclipse 3.2 & Eclipse 3.4) that makes requires significant changes to plug-in's that are using the framework.
