cd /usr/lib/eclipse
mkdir links
cd links
echo "path=r /usr/local/share/eclipse" > usr_local.links
# read only -> no update manager for this 'site'
cd /usr/local/share
mkdir eclipse
cd eclipse
mkdir plugins
mkdir features
 unzip <plugin.zip> -d plugins
or
 unzip <features.zip>

You can also try with applying the patch from 
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36101
and add a 'site' in your $HOME.

Jan
