erlide, which eclipse/which packages?

I have downloaded eclipse 3.4 (java version) for MacOSX (carbon). I have tried to 'update' to the erlide, but see many (duplicated) options (many erlide, options that say 'only for erl SDK updates', etc.) Sometimes I get 403 errors when attempting to access http://erlide.org/update and http://erlide.sourceforge.net/update.

Finally, when I get some set of options installed, I either get errors like :

Loading of /Users/kevindtimm/Documents/eclipse-java-ganymede-SR2-macosx-carbon/eclipse/plugins/org.erlide.kernel.common_0.8.1.201005250801/ebin/erlide_kernel_common.beam failed: badfile

=ERROR REPORT==== 24-Nov-2010::19:17:32 ===
beam/beam_load.c(1768): Error loading function erlide_kernel_common:monitor/0: op put_string u u x:
  please re-compile this module with an R14B compiler

or, when I've done different installations of erlide, I get no response in the console to :

hello:hello().

Does anybody have a good reference for how to load this plug-in and which items I should install?

-module(hello).
-export([hello/0]).
hello() -> io:write("Hello World\n").

[edit]

I have installed eclipse 3.6 (c++) as requested below, and the following code still can't find hello:hello().

%%file_comment
-module(hello).

%%
%% Include files
%%

%%
%% Exported Functions
%%
-export([hello/0]).

%%
%% API Functions

%%
%% Local Functions

hello() -> io:write("Hello World\n").

Solution

It might be a little late for you, but maybe for others my set up might avoid some frustrations.

I have OSX 10.6.5, 64-bit and Erlang R14B installed.

After several false starts, I found the following worked:

Download the C++ version of Eclipse (I use the latest Helios, 64-bit, OSX)
Once extracted, start Eclipse
Open Help | Eclipse Marketplace (wait whilst it fetches data)
Type erlide into the search field and click Go
Proceed to install by following the instructions
Restart Eclipse after installing plugins (always a good idea)

Next, define an Erlang runtime, because this is not picked up automatically:

Open Eclipse preferences
Expand the Erlang entry shown on the left-hand side (do not select Erlang)
In the expanded list click on the Installed Runtimes entry
Define your runtime as appropriate
Restart Eclipse

Failure to do the above steps first, (i.e. opening a different Erlang preferences pane) causes an internal UI error inside Eclipse, that prevents you from closing the dialog. Thus, forcing you to kill Eclipse.

Finally, it is necessary to define a launch configuration before you can run your Erlang code inside Eclipse:

Open Run | Run Configurations
Select Erlang application
Add new launch configuration
Enter a name for the application
On the Erlang tab:
Check required project
On the Runtimes tab:
Make sure node is defined as erlide
Check "Start the Erlang node if not already running
Click apply

Anyway, I hope it helps somebody out there.
