Well, of the JDT plugin, yes.  Unfortunately, Eclipse provides no generic 
testing support.  All of RDT is really a fork of JDT, or started that way.

It's been a while since I looked at the code, so it's hard to be detailed.  
There's an entire plugin devoted to the testing stuff I think.  When a launch 
is created, it runs a customer Test::Unit runner that's packaged in RDT.  It 
communicates to the UI via TCP.  I suspect that the UI showing the run and 
results would not need to change, or maybe only cosmetically. 

OTOH, you'd need to do something so that your're creating a different launch 
type (i.e., not Test::Unit), which means getting into Eclipse launches.
