After you install the plugins, just clone the project from Git or import as an Slim3 project. Project > Clean to generate the binaries you need, like R.java, etc. Now if you have errors, Right click on the project > Properties > expand Java Compiler > Annotation Processing > Factory Path > click on Enable project specific settings and then from 'Add JARs' add the slim3-gen-1.0.15.jar file. If there are some other errors and the compiler cannot find the json library, you should add it to the build path.
