Installing Adt 22.3 offline - eclipse

I cant connect to the internet from my work computer and i need to install the new ADT(22.3.0)
i've downloaded the ADT zip file from the android developers website
and on eclipse i went to HELP->INSTALL NEW SOFTWARS
clicked add and then chosed the zip file and i get this error message:
Unable to read repository at jar:file/The file path/content.xml
I have no idea how to fix it. i looked on a lot of other people posts and on google and still couldnt find an answer
my eclipse version is Indigo service release 2.
maybe there is something i need to configure in the eclipse settings?
any help will be much appriciated.

Verify that the ZIP file hasn't been corrupted. You shouldn't get it once the ZIP file is good.

Cant dowload google app engine 1.9.1

So I am trying to run a google web application through eclipse, but when I run it gives me an error to please check for newest SDK version, which is 1.9.1. And sure enough Im working with 1.9.0, but I cant find any updates for GAE and it says all components are installed under help->install new software.
Ive tried downloading .zip file of 1.9.1 and extracting it to my eclipse\dropins dir but that doesnt do anything either. What do I do after Ive extracted it in to my dropins dir? And why cant I find the new version using eclipse own installation tool? Should I really be getting this error?
Try Eclipse Help -> Check for Updates instead. Sometimes the SDK detects a new version before Eclipse does, and everything synchronizes within a day or so. The SDK message is informational, not an error, so you can safely ignore it in the meantime.
In addition to what Martin suggested, you can download the SDK separately and unzip that in any separate folder. Then from your Eclipse Preferences, go to Google, App Engine SDK and select that particular version folder.
FYI - I prefer keeping the SDK versions separate from Eclipse. That way, I have the entire list of SDKs available in another folder structure and can use it across Eclipse versions too.

How to install eclipse color theme plugin without eclipse itself

I use eclipse at work. Our internet is limited so I can't download plugins through eclipse itself. Anybody know a way I can download it at home, then install it from a flash drive or something of that nature? All I can find is info on the github and I have no idea how to use that. Still a noob
Thanks in advance
This should work.
Download the github zip file from here
The dropins directory should be used to install a plugin manually. The typical process is that you download a plugin and extract that archive to the dropins directory.
The plugins directory on the other hand is reserved for Eclipse's updater. You should not mess with it manually. Eclipse will store all plugins you install using "Help"->"Software Updates" or "Help"->"Install new software" (depending on your Eclipse version).
Please, let me know if this works for you.
See the stackoverflow question:

How to install Axis2 plug-in to Eclipse (for Android dev)?

I got my Eclipse (Indigo Service Release 1, Build id: 20110916-0149) installed and running for Android development. Now, I want to consume a WCF WebService (wsdl) in my Android app. As I learnt, this can easily be done using Axis2 plug-in for Eclipse. However, I had hard-time to install the Axis2 plug-in.
I understand there are similar questions already asked, but I couldn't make it work using all the suggestions, and there is no accepted answer either. That's why I created this new questions. It would be nice if somebody can tell which version is working one? or how to make the latest (1.6.1) work?
I do not understand the plug-in installation processs in Eclipse. I see p2 folder in my local drive under Eclipse, so I assume I could just extract the download to dropins folder, right?
#Andreas Veithen
Thanks for your answer buddy. The 1.6.1 version was driving me nuts. I tested it both in a Mac and a Windows machine and the result was the same. It just would not work. I took your advice and got the 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT version and it shows up just fine now.
#miliu
No matter which version you are looking for, you need to get the Axis2 eclipse codegen plugin.
Here is the link to the page where you can find the 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT version:
https://builds.apache.org/job/axis2-1.6/lastStableBuild/org.apache.axis2$axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/
Download the axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.6.2-SNAPSHOT.jar at https://builds.apache.org/job/axis2-1.6/lastStableBuild/org.apache.axis2$axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/artifact/org.apache.axis2/axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/1.6.2-SNAPSHOT/axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.6.2-SNAPSHOT.jar and drop it in your dropins folder. The latest version of Eclipse should already have a dropins folder after you extract the downloaded archive. You should now see the Axis wizards in Eclipse after restarting.
The above answers were not easily understood so I'm adding this for anyone reading this in the future.
Taken from the Axis2 website:
Download the ZIP file for the plugin you want to install.
Extract the content of the plugins folder in the ZIP archive into the dropins folder (i.e. do not create a plugins folder under dropins).
Ps: Get the 1.6.2 version from this link
The 1.6.1 version has a bug and doesn't work. Use 1.6.0 or 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT (which can be downloaded from here) instead.
All recent versions of Eclipse use p2. You need to put the JAR files into the dropins folder.

Problem updating Eclipse Ganymede

I am predominately a .NET developer so forgive me if I am missing something obvious. I use Eclipse Ganymede (3.4.0) for Blackberry development.
I have Blackberry JDE Plugin 4.3.0.8 installed and would like to install 4.5.0. I try using Help -> Software Updates to get it but get the following error:
"Cannot launch the Update UI. This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates".
Any ideas on how to fix this? Failing that any ideas how to install 4.5.0 without using the Update facility in eclipse? I have installed the 4.5.0 component back but it has not put it into eclipse, just installed files in c:\Program Files\Research In Motion.
I'd rather not do a fresh installation of eclipse!
Download them manually here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/javaeclipseplug.jsp
The first idea that comes to mind is that Eclipse doesn't know where to look for updates.
Go to Help->Install New Software (not update)
Click on Available Software Sites
There you can Add, Enable/Disable software sites(repositories)
Just like Jamie said, download Component pack from Blackberry site, and install them with Help->Software Updates->Available Software->Add Site->Archive
UPDATE And talking about the error, see
Getting the message “Cannot start the update ui…” when trying to run the update UI in Eclipse
Thanks for the links guys but I ended up downloading a fresh copy from the website, the archive that I had must have been corrupt somehow because I tried using it again and had the same issue.
