Unable to install STM32CubeIDE plugin from jar file

I bought an analysis program from a company and they gave me a plugin .jar file to install the analysis program in IDEs. When I put this plugin .jar file in a folder called dropins in the Code Composer Studio IDE folder, it works directly. But in STM32CubeIDE version 1.16 there is no dropins folder, even if I create it myself it doesn't work. When I tried to install the plugin as jar with the “local” option from the “install new software” screen, it didn't work. I don't have the Update site folder, only the .jar file. How can I install it in STM IDE as it is installed in CCS IDE?

I searched for the plugin name in the CCS folder and found which files it was attached to. As a result, I created the dropins folder and added the plugin information in the “C:\ti\ccs1250\ccs\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info” file to the same file in STM32CubeIde and it worked.
