install plugins in eclipse won't work

i get strange errors, when i try to install the android adt in eclipse 3.7 (indigo). the error occurs, whenever i try to install sth - which is basically EVERYTHING:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1308118821836 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1308118821836)
Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1308118821836 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1308118821836) requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.0.20110607-2117]' but it could not be found

so i downloaded eclipse again, deleted the whole workspace, even reinstalled the java sdk... same error :( i also tried to install maven from the "eclipse marketplace", but i got the same exact error :(

could this be due to some registry cleanup stuff? i cleaned the registry using "regseeker"...

ah: btw: win 7 x64 with sp1, running eclipse x68 and java x86 (due to other problems with x64-versions)

someone knows an answer to this?

It looks like a bug in Eclipse 3.7 that has been fixed in Eclipse 3.7.1

Take a look at the workaround documented in the bug comments:

The current workaround is to start from a package that does not include m2e (like the Eclipse SDK), mark the install read only, and then install into it the things that you need.

You need to run Eclipse as Administrator or give your "eclipse" folder write permissions to all users. Have a look at this question: Plugins won't install on Eclipse

Looks like there's something weird going on with the Maven integration that's only in the Java package. Try starting with a different one, such as the Java EE package, and if that works, report this as a bug.
