install google eclipse plugin from command line using archive of the update site

I am trying to install google eclipse plugin from command line using steps from http://www.lorenzobettini.it/2012/10/installing-eclipse-features-via-the-command-line/

I copied google eclipse plugin archive for eclipse juno into following directory :-

/home/ricky/_softwares/DevelopmentSoftwares/eclipsePluginsDropinsZipsFeatures/gae/

Now, i am trying to install google eclipse plugin from command line using below command :-

./eclipse -clean -purgeHistory -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -noSplash -repository jar:file:/home/ricky/_softwares/DevelopmentSoftwares/eclipsePluginsDropinsZipsFeatures/gae/com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.4.2.update.site_3.2.3.zip/ -installIUs file:/var/tmp/PPFs0awM0/updateSite/site.xml.Plugin

where file:/var/tmp/PPFs0awM0/updateSite/site.xml.Plugin is the identifier retrieved using below :-enter image description here

Execution of command logs following error in eclipse/configuration directory :-

Try using the command below instead.

./eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2 -installIUs com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature.feature.group -noSplash

The repository argument takes URLs and the id for the Google Plugin is com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature.feature.group. Take a look at http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html
