I have given up configuring my proxy settings in eclipse to download plugins. I want to install the counterclockwise plugins to run clojure in eclipse. I can download the jars into my C:\Program Files\EclipseIDE 3.6\dropins. Problem is when I start eclipse I dont have an option to start a new clojure project so I suppose the plugins are not being used.
The plugins I downlaoded are from http://ccw.cgrand.net/updatesite/plugins/. Note I downloaded a single version only.

You can install the software manually on eclipse, find a zip file online.
Go to Help > Install New Software > Add > Archive and locate the zip file.
IMPORTANT
Make sure to untick the box "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" because if this is ticked it will give the "HTTP Proxy Authentication Required"

You still use the Help -> Install New Software... option. Move the jars into a directory that's not part of Eclipse.
On the Install dialog, left click on the Add... button, just as if you were installing software from a web site.
On the Add Repository dialog, to the right of the Location text box, is an Archive... button. Left click that button and point to the non-Eclipse directory where your counterclockwise plug-ins are located.
Perform the rest of the install new software steps to install your jars.
