Currently, GWT 2.5 is only available as a Release Candidate, and as such is not delivered via the usual Eclipse update site yet. However, it's easy to use Eclipse with any GWT version:

  • Download the GWT SDK(s) you need from https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/versions
  • Extract it anywhere you like
  • In Eclipse Preferences > Google > Web Toolkit, use the "Add..." button and navigate to the GWT SDK directory

Then, in each Eclipse project's properties page (Project > Properties > Google > Web Toolkit), you can choose one of your installed SDKs.
