I want to start developing eclipse plugin but not sure how to start. I start to read vogella tutorial but it is talking about eclipse RCP which I am not sure is what i need or not? If anyone can provide me direction and give me starting point, i will be thankful.

An Eclipse plug-in always runs as part of an Eclipse RCP. Eclipse itself is a (very large) RCP so you can develop the plug-in to run as part of Eclipse, or you can write your own RCP from scratch.
