How to install UML plugin for Eclipse?

I'm programming with Eclipse and I wanna use UML diagrams in Eclipse Indigo. I try to install either UML2 or UML2 Tools plugins but I don't succeed.

By the way, I downloaded ZIP files of EMF, XSD, UML2 SDK, UML2 Tools and extracted them then copy their files into plugins and features folders. I see installed files in Eclipse but I can't yet work with it.

I don't know what should I do. Could you tell me, please?

The easiest way to get a version of Eclipse with all the UML plugins is to download the Eclipse Modeling Tools distribution from this page.

If you only have downloaded the "plain" Eclipse Classic (and not EMT as @ChrisH suggested), go to Help->Install Modeling Components and install "Papyrus" that should get you started with UML.

Insert Eclipse Indigo update site in Install new Software -->Modelling. There you will see one category named as modelling.Expand it & choose UML & then follow the procedure.

I've installed the Luna version of Eclipse Modeling https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-modeling-tools/lunar and the "EMF Generator Model" wizard is not found under the Eclipse Modeling Framework. I've reviewed the Luna documentation to see if the generator is embedded or moved to a different package. I also installed Papyrus and all of the EMF related packages that were not installed and restarted. No luck yet.
