How to manually install JAutodoc in eclipse kepler?

Question

I do not have access to the internet from eclipse so I can not add software using update sites. I have tried several different methods but none seems to be working.

I am using the JBoss Dev Studio version of kepler, but I figured this might be a general eclipse question.

Tried Help- Install New Software - Add... - browse to zip file and I get "could not find jar:file:/blahblahblah/jautodoc_1.10.0.zip!/" Nothing.

Tried unzipping it so we end up with eclipse/dropins/jautodoc_1.10.0/[features | plugins followed by restart. Nothing.
