Eclipse with android plugin - Blocked at "calculating requirements and dependencies"

Question

I have a problem during the installation of Android in Eclipse (Indigo and Helios, i've tried many different versions). When i search the plugin with the adress http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ , or localy (with the archive), it doesn't work.

It found the developpment tools, but it block at "calculating requirements and dependencies".

What's the problem ?

Answer 1

If you are installing from a local site, uncheck "Contact all update sites during install to find required software".

Answer 2

I had the same issue with win 7 x64 and any version of Eclipse. It's because it cannot connect to the Internet, sometimes it's just because of your firewall blocking its Internet access. But most probably, if it isn't the case, you need to go to your Eclipse preferences, General -> Network Connections -> choose Direct from drop down menu => everything should be unchecked now. It was the only thing that helped me on Win 7 x64. I don't have such issues on Win XP.
