Installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse

Question

I am trying to install the ADT plugin for Eclipse. However, after I have went to "Install New Software..." and entered the plugin location https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/, "Pending..." is displayed. It does not change to "Developer Tools" no matter how long I wait. (I have also tried "http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/)

To get around this I tried downloading the current ADT Plugin zip file, but this does not work either. "Developer Tools" appears, but when I click "Next" it does not move past "Calculating requirements and dependencies."

Please provide a solution to the problem of either approach. Thanks.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. It started working when I unchecked the box labeled "Contact all update sites during install to find required software".

1. Goto Preferences->Network Connections and set the correct option (native/direct as per your proxy settings on your network) restart eclipse and try again. [Switching to direct worked for me at home, however in office i had to configure it to native..] (Proxy settings require restart of eclipse IDE on some machines to take effect)
2. Ensure that your eclipse has all android toolkit dependencies (wst/emf...) installed (http://developer.android.com/resources/faq/troubleshooting.html#installeclipsecomponents)
