Are you going to use JFace in the context of a plugin or RCP? If so, you should get the Eclipse for Plug-in/RCP Developers package. Even if you're going to use JFace standalone, it is still nice to have the PDE and all the source code for the platform and JDT to use as examples.
So either way I recommend getting the Plug-ins/RCP developers packages.

As usual, I agree with Eric.

Also, as long you are going to install from scratch, you might consider upgrading to Eclipse 3.4.

Thank you, I am doing all that. (I am interested in JFace for standalone use.)


<five minutes later>:

After selecting the packages mentioned above, I get the following:

So it looks like I already have everything I need but cannot make updates. That last line sounds like it needs some component of Equinox. I selected all Equinox components I found (not knowing which one would contain that) but that didn't change:

So it looks like I can move on with JFace but it would still be nice to understand what is going on with those problems. Any hints?

Thanks,
