Some things to consider (given that I've never used that plugin):

* Typically a plugin is "installed" just by being copied to your
  plugins directory. You will then need to cycle eclipse.

* Typically an editor plugin won't "manifest" itself (i.e. start
  contributing, e.g. icons or actions, to the workspace) until you
  open a file of the type(s) for which it is registered.

* An installed plugin should be visible in the Plug-ins and Plug-in
  Dependencies views (Window>Show View>Other>PDE category). The latter
  is useful for debugging: if its deps aren't met, the plugin won't
  load.

* Another view useful for plugin-load debugging is Error Log (PDE
  Runtime category). Look for items like "Problems while scanning
  external plug-ins", "Could not create view", etc.

* news.eclipse.org/eclipse.platform :-)
