I did not understand from your earlier mail that you were asking about 
the RCP build.

During my experience with XEclipse I only developed it as an Eclipse plugin.
This the development environment you need if you want to work on 
XEclipse and it's features.
Building and customizing XEclipse to run as a RCP Application is more of 
a deployment concern rather than a development concern.

Back to your question, I can't help you much, but I see no reason why 
the latest version of the Eclipse SDK would not work.

Try it out and, if you can't build a XEclipse with RCP, use the older 
versions from the rcp project README.

"Integration of various source editors in XEclipse" sound to me like you 
shouldn't need to care about RCP and that all you will need is the 
development environment I described in my earlier mail.

I hope my reply was helpful. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Good luck!
