<lol/> I believe the main problem here is your lack of eclipse
experience. That being said,

* You don't need to put a plugin in the plugins folder if it's in your
  workspace. You will need to assure that your workspace contents get
  picked up when you launch a runtime workspace, but that's done by
  default.

* By "target platform" I mean PDE target platform, i.e.

Window>Preferences...>Plug-in Development>Target Platform
Help>Help Contents>PDE Guide>Getting Started>Concepts

Keep in mind you're working with Eclipse plugins, therefore it
behooves you to learn the basics of PDE (the Eclipse Plug-in
Development Environment). Start with Help Contents>PDE Guide.
