I do not need to run all of those jboss tools, but I do not want eclipse to die when I install jboss tools - it dumps core and dies at startup after I installed jboss tools.  I expect that it gently ignore that particular function, and not die.

If you're trying to use JBoss Developer Studio ( 
http://www.jboss.com/products/devstudio/ ), you may be better off 
running the linux version with binary compatibility under bsd.  I know 
at least Eclipse 3.6 runs fine here, but you could run into other issues 
with embedded browser support here too ).  JBoss Developer Studio is 
proprietary, so I don't know if they release source code for their 
plugins or not.  It also looks like they only support Eclipse 3.5.

I did install all the JBoss Tools ( http://www.jboss.org/tools ) for 
eclipse 3.6 successfully under the eclipse-devel 3.6 port.  I'm not 
familiar with these tools, but every plugin installed fine.  I first 
added the helios update site and then the 3.6 JBoss Tools update site.  
I then installed xulrunner by itself which added several other jboss 
update sites.  Finally, I selected the "All JBoss Tools 3.2.0" check box 
to install all the plugins and checked "Contact all update sites during 
install to find required software".  These plugins may be an alternative 
option for you if you're using JBoss Developer Studio.

I've been using the subversion plugin too without issues under 
eclipse-devel 3.6.

It may help to start with a clean workspace folder and a clean 
~/.eclipse folder to make sure you don't have any old/plugins or config 
files causing issues as you try to get plugins installed.
