Getting "No Repository Found" error in Eclipse (Ganymede) while trying to install google plugins (GWT)

Question

I'm trying to install the Google Web Toolkit for Eclipse (Ganymede), and I'm getting the following error.

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed

What could this error mean, and how do I install the plugins. It's a new install of Eclipse and Vista 64bit. I used "http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4" as the google plugin location.

Answer 1

I just clean eclipse and run it worked. in command prompt type eclipse -clean

This cleans the installation of eclipse and helps to run

Answer 2

I had this problem today. I found this helpful link which helped. Basically make sure all your sources' URLs end in a slash (/), and add them if they are missing.

I also went through all the sites and clicked the Test Connection button (I think that's what it's called) on each one to see if there was something wrong, and they all returned a successful result.

After that, suddenly I was able to install the features and plugins that had failed with the "No repository found" errors before.

Answer 3

OK I got it.

I'd installed Eclipse Classic, and it didn't like it. Since then, I've uninstalled classic and installed "Eclipse Java EE" and the update worked.

Answer 4

In my case I have archive software sites witch be deleted and updater say about this. Check Windows -> Preferences -> Available Software Sites. In this list should not be archive sites witch deleted. Then restart eclipse.

Answer 5

No necessarily to do all those import export and stuff. Eclipse has a problem with itself. But it can be solved with a simple startup of

cmd> eclipse.exe -clean

it will take awhile to startup but eventually it worked for me. coz partially sometimes eclipse has problem unzipping files or so n partial files unzipped.
