Hi, Currently in ParaView you can't expose a new reader with a pure XML based plugin. I have added the feature to mantis so you can track the feature ( http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12657)
In the meantime you will have build your own plugin which will require you too build your own version of ParaView or to use the developer release. I have included the necessary files to make the reader once you have the correct ParaView version. I would recommend reading the http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo page to understand how to build your own plugin.
