I just tried to download a plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace web

The only "download" link I could find was a down arrow, but that gave
me a text link which is supposed to be copy/pasted into Eclipse. I
assume that Eclipse would then download/install the plugin.
While this machine is connected to the Internet, my development machine
is not and cannot be connected.
I used to be able to download a jar or zip, then copy/expand it into
the Eclipse plugin directory.
I am either missing something basic on the web pages or the changes are
predicated on being connected to the internet.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hmm, to be supported there needs to be a link to the plugin. However I
cannot find any such link (tried the Unnecessary Code Detector as a
test).
Ok, I guess I will setup a dummy Eclipse installation on the Internet
machine, then use that to update/install features. Then I will copy the
entire Eclipse directory to a USB drive and then ask the security guys
to give me an access window to attach the USB and copy Eclipse onto the
development machine.
It's not like I install a new plugin every other day...
Thanks
