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.
