Installing Dali plugin in IBM Rational Software Architect

Question

Hi,
We use IBM Rational Software Architect as development environment, and we want to use the Dali Eclipse plugin to generate Entities using TopLink. We cannot get Dali installed in IBM RSA though. Since IBM RSA is based on Eclipse, it shouln't be a problem to install Eclipse plugins. We tried installing Help > Software Updates > Find & Install and via copying the files into the Eclipse tree, but neither of the to methods succeeded. The plugin simply doesn't show up.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do to get it installed? We use a separate installation of Eclipse Europa now as a workaround. But I think you understand we prefer to use a single development environment.
Here's some detailed information about the version of IBM RSA we're using:
* IBM Rational Software Architect: Version: 7.0.0
* Eclipse Platform: Version: 3.2.1.r321_v20060921-b_XVA-INSQSyMtx; Build id: M20060921-0945
Best regards,
Bart Kummel

Flex Builder 3 plugin is not intended to be installed on Eclipse Galileo (3.5).
Zend Studio 7 is based on Eclipse 3.5, and when I tried to install the FB3 plugin, the installation wizard gave me this error:
"Please choose an existing Eclipse 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4 folder to be extended with the Flex Builder Plugin-ins."
However Flash Builder 4 it seems that it's working with Eclipse 3.5. I've just installed Flash Builder 4 plug-in into Zend Studio 7.
