ADT Plugin Cannot Install: Missing Requirement: Android Development Tools

I tried installing the ADT plugin on eclipse helios windows 64 bit classic. I got this error:

Cannot complete the installation because one or more of the required items could not be found. Installed software: Android development tools 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) Missing requirement: Android development tools 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 ( com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) requires "org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0" but could not be found

you MUST run eclipse as an administrator to install plugins for Vista or 7 !!! right-click the eclipse.exe file (not the shortcut). If you still have problems, try the next step.

one reason this could happen is because you first need to enable a release compatible with your version of eclipse:

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno (or helios, ganimede, indigo, etc.)

if you are missing a sroid sroid, download from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

after installing it, you must go to the folder c: / Program Files (x86) / Android / android-sdk / platform / and create a new (empty) folder "android-7". then create a folder called temp in c: / Program Files (x86) / Android / android-sdk / and you will be asked to download the SDK when you run eclipse again (always as administrator)

finally restart and you should be fine

PS: you have to update your eclipse (under HELP) and then exit it. restart in administrator mode and open the Android SDKs (not HELP, tab on the left [not on my workstation right now, later will be]).

without installation, basically everything is there (from 3 to 12 hours, depending on the speed of your connection), you will not have a complete environment, and some compilations simply will not work.

The eclipse version is out of date, you need to provide the org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0 library.

See instructions here: http://code.google.com/intl/es/eclipse/docs/faq.html#wstinstallerror

or I would recommend upgrading to Eclipse Indigo, which will not have this problem.

If you use Eclipse Juno (i.e. 4.xx) in Win 7 and encounter problems installing Android ADT Plugin for eclipse, follow these steps:

  • go to where the eclipse.exe file is located (default: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ eclipse)
  • NOT left click (run it), but right click on eclipse.exe
  • select start as administrator.

Then it starts up. Then just follow the Android manual on this (Http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html).

Right-clicking on the eclipse.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator" will give you access rights to files that will allow you to update ADT through the Eclipse / Android SDK Manager in the "Eclipse Window" drop-down list.

In my case, my Windows 7 system did not have the required plugin "Android SDK Platform-tools 16.0.1". I suggest restarting Windows after completing this plugin installation. After restarting Eclipse (Juno), the error message "Could not find C: \ Program Files \ Android \ android-sdk-windows \ platform-tools \ adb.exe!" has been eliminated.
