Try it out

At present we have no update site, but you can check the project plugins out of SVN directly from eclipse.org at svn://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.linuxtools. You will need to check out the following from systemtap/trunk:

     org.eclipse.linuxtools.systemtap.feature
     org.eclipes.linuxtools.systemtap.ui.editor

From there, run the plugins as an Eclipse Application.
