I did not realize these are actually eclipse plugins - and thus not just maven dependencies. by reddeer being on its own the maintanence of those updatesites and releases needs to be done fully before we should have tests depending on them, right?
Please see, 
https://github.com/jboss-reddeer/reddeer/wiki/Getting-Started , 
"Installing RedDeer" section and "RedDeer and Maven/Tycho" section.

Yes, there are update sites for last stable, particular stable versions 
and dev branch update site

There is some initial info here 
https://github.com/jboss-reddeer/reddeer/wiki but still we are working 
on it.

RedDeer was initiated to overcome some problems and shortcomings from 
SWTBot usage and to bring desired features for functional test 
development. Related to JBT it's meant to be used only for 
integration/functional tests. During SVN times we decided  to have it as 
independent of JBT builds and make it available as a project for (not 
only JBT) functional testing on Eclipse. Currently there is a code on 
Github, wiki on Github and builds on OpenShift. When RedDeer is mature 
enough we can consider further steps. Related to dependencies and builds 
it's stable as far as OpenShift site is stable.
