Installing the Google Plugin for Eclipse in the Eclipse Android Developer Tools (ADT) Bundle

I downloaded the Eclipse ADT package from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Now I want to add the Google plugin for Eclipse. So I go to Help -> Install new software ... and enter the following:

gpe - http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2

I am presented with the following list, where I perform the following selection:

 [ ] Developer Tools [ ] Google App Engine Tools for Android (requires ADT) [X] Google Plugin for Eclipse (required) [ ] GWT Designer for GPE (recommended) [ ] NDK Plugins [ ] SDKs

but get the following installation error:

 Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.2 3.2.2.v201303261859-rel-r42 (com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature.feature.group 3.2.2.v201303261859-rel-r42) Missing requirement: Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.2 3.2.2.v201303261859-rel-r42 (com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature.feature.group 3.2.2.v201303261859-rel-r42) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui 0.0.0' but it could not be found

My question is:

  • Why am I getting this error?
  • Why does the site ask me to install [] developer tools when I already have ADT installed with Eclipse?

Thanks,

Jason posit

I just ran into this (again), and I fixed it by simply checking "Contact all update sites during installation to find the necessary software" * In Win7 Eclipse Juno SP1 4.2.1

(You did not indicate which operating system you are using, so I will explain what worked for me.)

I solved similar plugin installation problems on Windows by simply running Eclipse as an administrator.
