Just unpack at the root of your eclipse install (c:\eclipse) using folders and it will install itself into the proper plugin folders.
You might need to restart the IDE before it takes effect. It is a pretty well hidden project. Basically, it will add an XML Editor that is linked by default to any .xml files in the file associations. One gotcha is that eclipse tends to remember the last editor you used to open something, so it might fall-back to the text editor when you double-click an xml file you have opened before. Either way, if you right-click and select "Open With", you should see an XML editor as an option. Once you get it installed, you might want to consider setting file associations for *.htm and *.htm to the XML editor since it will then colorize you HTML nicely. For some reason *.htm? doesn't work. I haven't looked at the help since 2.0 came out, so it must not have changed. The help has always been more focused on developers of Eclipse than users.
