Today I tried on my Mac (OSX 10.6.8) with Eclipse 3.7.1.
I downloaded a new zip of the 32-bit version of this for the Mac, unzipped it, and launched it. I installed the UIMA SDK 2.4.0 plugins from the eclipse update site - that worked fine. I was able to run the Component Descriptor Editor.
However, the Deployment Descriptor Editor, part of UIMA-AS, has not been released for version 2.4.0, and depends on version 2.3.1 of the other UIMA plugins, which are not present (the 2.4.0 versions are). Eclipse won't install the 2.3.1 versions, once the 2.4.0 ones are installed, complaining that a more recent version is already installed. But if you want to, just uninstall the 2.4.0 versions (there are 2 plugins - runtime and tooling). Then you can go back and reinstall the 2.3.1.
If you have unchecked the box in the install pane which says to "Contact all updates sites during install to find required software", then the EMF Modelling tooling, which the UIMA tools require, won't be found and it will complain. You can either re-check that box, or just install the EMF Modelling plugin manually.

The workaround for me was to manually copy the eclipse plugins jar files that came with the UIMA distribution to the plugins directory of my Eclipse installation as described in sections 3.1.5 and 3.1.6.1 of the "Overview and Setup" documentation. For the benefit of anyone else who hits the same plugins manager error, the best description I found is is a thread<http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/7409/>in the Eclipse forums which basically says that it is a low-level Eclipse error that end users should not see.
