title: How to install the RED Robot Framework Editor plug-in manually into Eclipse?
body: <p>Our corporate firewall is not allowing traffic directly towards SourceForge so we were supplied the plug-in JAR file through a fileshare. We have used the following download <a href="http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/red-robot-editor/repository/0.8.13/plugins/org.robotframework.ide.eclipse.main.plugin_0.8.13.201907181006.jar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a>.</p>
  
  <p>We found several instructions to install plug-ins manually but we were not able to. It looks like this JAR file is not suitable for manual installation? Or what are the steps we need to take?</p>
