Eclipse hangs when installing new software

I am trying to install new software within Eclipse the C++ version. Help -> install new software. When I go to install new software, it hangs or takes hours to move a percentage.

I have read that this is a known bug in JRE7, which I am assuming I am using since I have it installed. I changed to JRE6 by changing the eclipse.ini file with the argument -vm XXXX where XXXX is the path to my javaw.exe.

It does not seem to have changed anything.

Ideas?

Thanks.

If anyone is still having this issue simply go to windows defender and add the installation app as an exception.

I solved my issue by following all steps in above answers

  1. Window -> Prefrerences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites and then uncheck all except Your package name ( neon, mars ).

  2. Window -> Prefrerences -> General -> Network Connections and set Active provider to "manual".

  3. Help -> Install new Software -> uncheck "contact all update sites during install".

None of above methods worked for me in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Eclipse Mars. Had to do following

Go to "Preferences"->"Install/Update"->"Available Software Sites" and uncheck all except "Mars".

After this install worked in a jiffy.

I had to go to Preferences -> General -> Network Connection and set Active provider to 'direct' as it was 'native' by default. Then it worked fine.

I kept having this issue and resolved it by following Nitin Kale's fix for Eclipse slowness on fresh 16.04 here> https://askubuntu.com/a/788826

open terminal and type following command

export SWT_GTK3=0 add this to your ~/.profile file to make it persistent across logins (you'll need to logout and log back in to be able to start eclipse from shortcut)

then go to your eclipse folder and search for eclipse.ini file Right click anywhere in the folder and choose "open in terminal" and type following command in terminal

sudo gedit eclipse.ini and add the following line before --launcher.appendVmargs

--launcher.GTK_version 2 Search in the file for 256 and replace it with 1024

Finally it worked for me only by unchecking Contact all update sites during install to find required software. From what I'm seeing it might be a Mac issue, on Windows and Linux it worked without any change.

I've found it helps by adding this line to the eclipse.ini file:

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

You can get rid of this problem by simply disabling your Firewall software before installing new plugin. If your Antivirus has built-in Firewall, you need to disable it.

Optionally, to reduce the update time, you can uncheck Contact all update sites during install to find required software, see my blog post for details.

To get around this issue, I went to Windows->preferences->general->network settings and typed in each repository manually. I also selected manual from the drop down at the top of the window.

It seems it was also useful to get off of my home network and I had to get on another network.

To install new plugin into eclipse, you can download plugin installer or go market place to install. Make sure what SDK you are using and fill the correct path. Wish you success
