I'd like to install VE 1.1M1 which just became available however the
announcement in the VE NG points only to ZIP files. FAQs and NG articles
I've seen all warn against manual installation into the plugins directory.
So how do I install this plugin if the only pointers I have are to ZIP
files, not update sites?

Hello Roger

Just unzip the content to the plugins-directory while Eclipse is not
running and then run Eclipse with the runtime option "-clean". I always
installed VE - and other plug-ins - manually and I never ran into
troubles.

BTW: VE can be installed using an update site. Look for instructions in:

dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/vep-ho me/WebContent/faq.html

Hope this helps
