How to add dependency in IDF Eclipse Plugin

[greycon]

Hi, I've been using the Eclipse Plugin for a few months now, and am used to it's quirks, esp related to indexing. I'm nearing the end of a medium sized project, and I have decided to use FrogFS to bundle some files with my binary. The readme for FrogFS says to start by adding a dependency;
idf.py add-dependency jkent/frogfs

Is there a way to do this within the Eclipse Plugin?

I tried opening a Mac OSX terminal, and running idf.py from my ESPIDS tools directory, but I get a lot of errors about required versions of things not being met. Ending with:
ESP-IDF v5.1.2-dirty

If I need to go learn the ESPIDF command line stuff, I will do that, but I'm really keen to finish out this code, and would really appreciate it if any of you good people can tell me a way to accomplish this within the IDF Eclipse Plugin.

I'm shooting on the dark here, but I found a file called idf_compoents.yml, and managed to add the right incantation there, which seems to have downloaded the frogfs component. But it's pure trial and error right now. If anyone knows how this should work,and there is a document I can read, please shout.
