Android plugin install problems in eclipse

I am trying to install the ADT Plugin. I go to Help install new software in eclipse and then after selecting the development tool I get this error

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534)
  Missing requirement: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) requires 'org.eclipse.ui 3.6.2' but it could not be found

EDIT I have eclipse 3.5.2

for native install (tested on xubuntu) - please view video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCNC34BflOo&feature=player_embedded#!

shortly:

1) run eclipse from

root-> help -> install new software -> add

name: update(S), url: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo (for 3.7.x, juno for 4.2.x)

or select in menu "work with" if path exist

2) select 'linux development' install, all warnig/error pakages make off

3) install ADT Plugin after install restart eclipse and select path-to-android-sdk

4) Tape (Write) bug to our linux distributive vendor :)

Enjoy! PS Separate install - good idea :)

You need to install GEF and WST first.

GEF Update Site : http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/ (dead)

WST Update Site : http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo

I was using eclipse (helios version 3.6.2) and tried to install android SDK but i failed with abovee mentioned error.

I found the solution for this issue.

Select the "Available software sites" list

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/201102250900 (Helios) and http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios (Helios Milestone Repository)

If using galileo select the appropriate release line from avail sw site list. 'Check for Updates' (to get the Helios updates), then install the plugin.

I had similar problems, trying to install ADT plugin, but not exactly the same.

I fixed it by going to Help > Check For Updates, and just installed current updates available, restarted Eclipse, and then tried installing ADT plugin again, and it worked just fine.

In windows 7, choose 'Run as Administrator' when opening eclipse. This gives eclipse the permissions it needs, and should eliminate the error. This worked for the 64-bit program.

On Ubuntu 11.10,

I downloaded Eclipse using sudo apt-get install eclipse

  • Installed Android SDK
  • Installed ADT PLugin in Eclipse (Eclipse must be started with sudo otherwise you will get error as mentioned by lukap)

you just need Ecplise Helios

ADT 16.0.1 (December 2011)

Dependencies:

    Eclipse Helios (Version 3.6) or higher is required for ADT 16.0.1.
    ADT 16.0.1 is designed for use with SDK Tools r16. If you haven't already installed SDK Tools r16 into your SDK, use the Android SDK Manager to do so.

I found that using a 64bit version of eclipsed gave me that error! Try using the 32bit version and see if that fixes it! =)

In case you can't upgrade your Eclipse (like me). Use this as a local archive to install ADT 15.0.0 which supports Eclipse 3.5.

I did not found any solution for this. But instead of using eclipse installed with

sudo apt-get install eclipse

I downloaded it from a web page and I start that (the downloaded) eclipse, and with that version it works just fine

There seems to be some version mismatch. Are you using eclipse 3.6.2 or older version?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html mentions that ADT 16.0.1 requires eclipse version 3.6 and higher.

Also, just check if you have installed/updated the latest android SDK before updating the adt. That might help in your case.
