instructions for the 0.9RC4 build. I tried several methods to install
the latest DTP package:
1) unzip dtp_0.9RC4_N052906.zip into my eclipse installation directory
and run eclipse -clean. No errors, but "manage configuration" doesn't
show any DTP plugins.
2) importing the site from "install new features"
3) add archived site from "install new features"
The first method always used to work for me in 3.1.2. Have things changed?

Brian,
I think the easiest way is (1). The only thing to be careful about is that
DTP is packed using the following structure:
--eclipse
----features
----plugins
----readme
With files in each folder. So, when you unzip, be sure to point to the
folder (or drive, if your eclipse install is off the root) of your eclipse
install, not the eclipse folder itself. Otherwise, you'll end up with the
DTP distribution installed in an "eclipse" directory within your "eclipse"
directory. Essentially, DTP is adding content to eclipse folders that
should already exist in a Eclipse SDK install. The way to verify is to
make sure that your eclipse\plugins folder has a number of
org.eclipse.datatools.* entries.
Next, I would worry about the configuration manager and such. Just open
the "Database Development" perspective to make sure that DTP is installed
correctly.
You might also want to take a look at our Getting Started guide, which
shows the basics of DTP once installed:

I'm also not able to find any database perspective to open, from within
eclipse. I'm wondering if maybe that is related to some of the portions
of the package not properly unzipping?
