Is it possible to package the Eclipse components (Views/Editors/etc.) such
that the RCP compatible ones (i.e. those that don't rely on JDT
extensions/API/etc.) are separated out from those that depend upon the JDT
(i.e. the debugger)?

This would allow me to install things like the rule editor and rule
navigator (browser/database/cross-referencer) as plugins in my RCP
application.  This would allow field modification of the rule base directly
within our application (similar to what JRules provides).

FWIW, it would be really cool if the debugger were also split such that if
the JDT is not present, you can still debug/introspect rules, facts, etc.
The debugger could conceivably 'step-over' calls out to the JVM.

It's probably time I put together a web page with a summary of
features for Charlemagne. I want to put up an issue tracking system
too.

Anyway, right now there isn't anyplace to get a lot of information all
together about what will be in the Jess IDE. Basiclly, there will be a
typical Eclipse editor, with smart completion, intention actions,
refactoring, syntax coloring, wiggly-line error markers, etc. There
will be a debugger that's integrated with the Java debugger, so you
can do cross-language debugging. There will be a browser/rule
database/cross-referencer, for exploring rulebases. There will also be
integrations of various Jess built-ins: a new "view" command, for
example, a pretty-printer, a logging interface for the watch commands,
etc.
