Our plug-in modularity is intended to support this, even if the current
features don't make it convenient. What's RadRails missing? Seems like you
could just install by getting the site zip and putting everything there
other than mylar.java, which requires JDT. If they don't have eclipse.team
you'll have to skip mylar.team. If they don't have PDE you'll have to skip
mylar.ide, which gets you the Navigator and Project Explorer actions for
Apply Mylar. In that case we should consider moving the PDE bridge to
mylar.java, which is fine since PDE is coupled to eclipse.jdt anyway.

I just responded to this on bug:
150772: [bridge] RadRails
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150772
Also note the corresponding section on the new wiki-based FAQ:

While as indicated on the bug it will require others' contributions to have
Mylar support RadRails, we will be happy making sure that we make those
contributions easy. Just fyi creating Bridges and Apply Mylar actions is a
lot easier than creating Connectors.
