The only steps I took to do this were to closedown Eclipse on their
machine, copy the jar file to the plugin directory and then restart

Eclipse.

As it's not showing at all on their configuration plugin tab...

Just guessing (as I have not done it before), but I would think you
would have to do more to "install" an Eclipse plugin that simply
copy the JAR file to the plugin directory. I would think it would
have to at least also be "registered" somehow to Eclipse.

In fact, I found the following comment on the Internet.

Never, never, never... install anything directly in plugins/ It will not
be picked up by Eclipse automatically and - even more importantly - all
the usual update functionality does not work for these "dropped" plug-ins.
If you absolutely must add anything "by hand" do it in dropins/... – Tonny

I found other comments that said you need to export from one
machine and then import on the other machine.

Sincerely,
