We had the bright idea of allowing editing of the config files through the UI... but the ability to upload arbitrary XML is a security vulnerability, so that idea was nixed.
The solr/bin script has an upconfig and downconfig command that are (I hope) easier to use than zkcli, I think from 5.5. In Solr 6.2 the solr/bin script has been enhanced to allow other ZK operations. Not quite what you were looking for, but I thought I'd mention it. There are some ZK clients out there that'll let you edit files directly in ZK, and I know IntelliJ also has a plugin that'll allow you to do that from the IDE, don't know about Eclipse but I expect it does. I usually edit them locally and set up a shell script to push them up as necessary...
