Learn to use eclipse before you dive in the deep end, go through some of 
the tutorials, create a plugin, learn how things work.

THEN play with RCP. Once you know how projects & plugins & extensions 
work the contents of the zip file should be obvious.

The Eclipse learning curve is pretty steep, taking short cuts will only 
work if you can get there without resorting to begging for help on 
newsgroups. Experienced users will recognise when you're taking 
shortcuts and not bothering to RTFM and you will get little sympathy.
