Click next. The selected features are displayed. Click next again. The next screen displays the licensing of XQDT which is EPL. Review and accept the license agreement. Click finish.

Now, XQDT is being installed. You will be asked to restart Eclipse.

You now have XQDT installed. Last step before writing an XQuery project, you need configure an XQuery processor. We will use Zorba. Go to Preferences > XQuery > Interpreters. Click on the "Add..." button. In the popup menu, select "Zorba XQuery Engine" as interpreter type and set the path of your zorba executable.

Click OK.

Congratulation! You are all set. You can create a new XQuery project and run it with Zorba.
