We have a VM running for development, but on these machines we absolutely have no Internet connection. Local machine has Internet access, but no Eclipse there (it's the company's policy, they have to be very strict).
Luna version is 4.4 (essentially it's IBM RAD 9.5 dev tools sigh, but this shouldn't matter for my question hopefully). The latest stable for Luna is JBoss Tools 4.2.3 here: https://tools.jboss.org/downloads/jbosstools/luna/4.2.3.Final.html
I finally downloaded a file called (don't remember where)
jbosstools-4.2.3.Final_2015-03-26_22-41-56-B370-updatesite-core.zip
which includes two subdirs plugins and features and the two required files artifacts.jar and content.jar (How to install plugin for Eclipse from .zip). I then went to Eclipse Help -> Install new software -> Add... -> Archive... and selected the file I downloaded (you can copy the files from the local machine to the VM via Ctrl+C and Ctrl-V, but Internet access is forbidden).
The manual installation fails. I only selected a small subset of the features to get the JSF editor:
- JBoss Tools JSF
- JBoss Tools Visual Page Editor
After a very long time after completing some lengthy 15 calculation steps ("Could not perform operation... step x/15, this may take a while." the dialog says:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

I am currently stuck trying to install the required archive(s) Apache commons-httpclient-3.1.0 manually to Eclipse (not to the project), because I don't know where to find a ZIP file that contains the commons-httpclient 3.1.0 Eclipse updatesite files.
Question/s:
How/where do I get the ZIP files for manual install in Eclipse (updatesite files)? Does anyone know the URL?
I need to download the file to my local machine, copy the to the VM via the RDC and install offline there.
The general question would be where to find any dependencies' Eclipse updatesite files. I believe commons-httpclient won't stay my only problem.
Thanks
