The detailed local update site way is not hard. It may be needed if you want to tweak one or three colors by yourself.

It is like this :

• open eclipse.themes.darker.site/site.xml in Eclipse (4.2+), then use the "Build All" button generate a local update site/repo in the eclipse.themes.darker.site itself.

• Finally, use that update site to install the plugin, like this(borrowed from Google plugin site^_^):

1. In Eclipse, choose Help > Install New Software...
2. In the "Work with" section, click the Add... button. The "Add Repository" dialog box appears.
3. Click Local and select the directory - eclipse.themes.darker.site, then click OK. Its path appears in the "Location" field. Leave the "Name" field empty.
4. Continue with step 2 of the GPE 4.2 installation instructions[1], as summarized here:

a. Select the software components you want. 

b. Click Next to review the list of items to be installed, click Next again to read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish. Eclipse will then install any external dependencies if needed, and add the chosen components to the Eclipse installation. 

c. When asked, Restart Eclipse.
