Clueless Eclipse noob question ahead:

I do have Galileo, DTP (Data Tools Platform), and it is working for
other RDBMS.

How do I install the Firebird Eclipse plugin in Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)?

Here's what I tried after downloading the ZIP file to my local disk
using "Help > Install New Software":

(1) Going "Add > Archive...", then picking the ZIP file. The status
message is "The repository is currently not available", and on "Test
Connection" I'm seeing:

No repository found at
jar:file:/C:/Eclipse35Archive/firebird_DTP_1.0.0.200906062028.zip!/.

(2) Unzipped the file to C:\Eclipse35Archive\Firebird, then going
"Add > Local...", picked this directory, no error, but "There are no
categorized items".

(3) Picked the "Firebird\plugins" directory, the error message is "No
repository found at file:/C:/Eclipse35Archive/Firebird/plugins/".

This must be very simple - what am I missing? Thanks,

Michael
