It does. You should see an option "Clojure File" in the "File > Create new"
menu.
If not, then probably there's a problem with the java perspective not being
refreshed.
That's more annoying now that people will more and more use the Eclipse
integrated "market place" to install ccw, and thus not follow the quick
install guide which explicitly says "Go to menu Window > Reset Perspective
..".

Will you please file an issue for this ?

Not true.
Select any clj file of your project, or select the project's node, and
trigger the "Run > Clojure Application" command.

Please note that you have installed the stable version of CCW, version
0.0.64, and that in this version the REPL is working, but "featureless".
If you want to help test future 0.2.0 version of CCW, you'll need to remove
version 0.0.64, and install the alternate feature from the ccw update site :
  * first uninstall CCW 0.0.64: Menu Help > About Eclipse > Installation
Detail > [Select "Counterclockwise ..", click Uninstall...]
  * follow the manual steps listed here
http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started_with_Eclipse_and_Counterclockwise
  * but instead of installing version 0.0.64, go to the "... Release
candidates version" category and check "Counterclockwise Feature REPL UI
Branch" version 0.2.0.RC04

I have good news for you: ccw documentation is linked from the main page of
the counterclockwise project, in the "Quick links" section, and it's neither
a pdf neither a video, plain old wiki page:
