Installing Genymotion Eclipse plug-in

Question

I have installed Genymotion on my Windows 7 , 32-bit machine. I am working with Eclipse to develop Android apps. I would like to ask what the proper way to install the Genymotion plug-in is.

Going by their website, they provide two JAR files for Eclipse and a note underneath which reads:

The installation of the plugin can be done by launching Eclipse and going to "Help / Install New Software" menu, then just add a new Update Site with the following URL: http://plugins.genymotion.com/eclipse. Follow the steps indicated by Eclipse. Warning: to use this plugin, Genymotion must be installed on your system.

I have installed the plug-in from the Eclipse 'Help' menu. I havent downloaded any of the two files. Have I done it correctly ?

The two files are:
1. Genymotion Plug-in for Eclipse
2. Mandatory dependency for Eclipse plug-in

Note: sometimes after additions of the plugin from Help | Install new software it is not giving the checkbox to check or the ability to install. At this time uncheck "Group Items by category" to list all items without any grouping. Check all of items then press Next and proceed.
