If you just want to play around with plug-in development, then you really don't need to integrate the different IDE capabilities, and can probably live with separate Eclipse installations and workspaces.

Actually, the more capabilities/Eclipse editions, you try to integrate, the more limits you set up for other plug-ins/features/capabilities. At some point, it can get impossible to integrate 3rd party capabilities such as those from TaskTop and Atlassian...

If you don't need the Java EE capabilities, consider using either the classic Eclipse edition or the RCP edition.

For Eclipse plugin development download Eclipse Classic distribution which includes SDK from here.

Eclipse IDE for Java EE description:

Tools for Java developers creating Java EE and Web applications, including a Java IDE, tools for Java EE, JPA, JSF, Mylyn and others.

Eclipse Classic description:

The classic Eclipse download: the Eclipse Platform, Java Development Tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.

Also, if you want to see the sourcecode of any plugin dependency, you can check it out from CVS at :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse

Be careful to get the right version, though.
