You've got the right thing, JDT.
By the way, because the update can use mirror sites, sometimes those 
mirror sites are unreliable. That is probably why your first attempt at 
installing JDT failed. I wish that Eclipse didn't have to rely on 
mirrors, but I think that is the only way they can keep up with the 
demand for downloads and updates - remember that Eclipse Foundation is 
non-profit and has limited resources.

Hope this helps,
Eric
