Improve first-time user experience

I'm an Eclipse user on Windows and want to use Git without installing a
native client.

I managed to find the update site http://www.jgit.org/update-site/ and
install the latest stable version. 

Then I managed to open the import wizard to get a local repository. I used
git://repo.or.cz/egit.git

Then I got lost. I found a new egit directory in my workspace, and inside
some Eclipse projects. 

How can I use them?

I had no instructions for what I have done and figured it out with some
background knowledge about plug-ins. It would be great if the steps would
be described in a Getting Started guide. 

Now I'm stuck, waiting to see how that egit folder in my workspace could be
used.

You do not need the EGit source to use the plugin. In the current state I think 
you
may want to have the native git as a complement for features not implemented in 
EGit,
yet.
