I am still a beginner with Java, so it is not a critical problem even if I want to try and learn about these plugins and how they work. The last time I looked for an answer, I read something about editing the 'path' but I haven't found anything about how to do this for these three plugins. I tried simply extracting the zip files into the plugins folder and also tried moving the unzipped files and folders into 'plugin' folders with similar file types, but no luck. I also read that I could extract the zip files into the eclipse 'plugins' folder but this didn't work either.

I read that I could try editing the 'eclipse.ini, file by adding the following text after the -vmargs line: =true'.

I think I am doing it right beacause I succeded in installing one or two other plugins the same way. After you have downloaded an Eclipse plugin, simply go to that file within your browser. To access a file browser on a repository page, press the Archive button in the Add Repository window. If you want to add something, press the Add button. When I try to use the 'Install new software' command, and navigate to the zip files (for Jquery, Cordova and dojo) I get a message 'no software site found at jar file: C:/./dojo-release-1.8.1.zip' etc. How Do I Install An Eclipse Plugin Eclipse can be customized by selecting Help > Install New Software. Most of what I have done is to extract zipfiles into the eclipse plugin folder or to use the 'Install new software' command in the eclipse 'help' menu.
