text on the customer portal says "This release zip was built with Eclipse 4.3.1, but should also work with future Kepler or Eclipse 4.3.x versions. However, we recommend using the Kepler JEE bundle"
what does that last bit mean?
is it even relevant?{quote}

What that means is that JBT 4.1.x and JBDS 7.x should be installable into any version of Kepler [0]: R [1], SR1 [2], or SR2 [3]. You can also install it into any Eclipse 4.3.x [4] if you prefer. 

But the simplest solution, if you haven't already got Eclipse 4.3 / Kepler downloaded, is to select the Kepler SR2 JEE [5] package because it includes pretty much everything you need in a single download, rather than requiring subsequent updates or additional downloads to complete the installation.
