Eclipse indigo, plugin installation not working - eclipse

I have downloaded the latest update site archive for Eclipse 3.7 from http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-from-zip.html here and tried to install it. But installation stuck at 24% every time. No change in 24% after an hour also.

I am guessing that you are installing from a zip because you are behind a firewall and can't install from an external update site.
What's like happening is that the install of the google plugin also attempts to bring in other plugins from remote sites, but this fails to download because of the firewall.
If this is the problem, you can fix this by unchecking "Contact all update sites..." in the update manager.

Use GWT 2.3 from,
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-2.3.0.zip
This is a much stable version for Indigo.
If you use Helios, GWT 2.4 won't create much problems but with Indigo, it has a lot of bugs.
I had been working on Helios and Indigo with GWT for the last 2 years...

How to upgrade from Eclipse Mars to Eclipse Neon?

To upgrade to a new version, the eclipse FAQ suggests to add a new repository and then install available updates. Upgrading to Neon, the corresponding repository is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/neon/.
On this page, it says:
NOTE: Due to structural changes you cannot update from a Mars (or prior) all-in-one package to a Neon version. If interested in the technical details, see bug 332989 and bug 490515.
I still tried to above procedure, but no updates were found. What is the best way to upgrade from Mars to Neon? A complete new installation? How do I preserve my settings?
The note on the repository page is right. Thanks to your report, I edited the FAQ to make it clear that upgrading packages from Mars to Neon is not supported.
Instead you need to to a fresh install for Neon (or later).
I tried to upgrade in the recommended way, by adding the repository links and doing an update, but then I got a lot of conflict messages. I foolishly tried to remove the conflicting software components, until it told me that Eclipse itself was the conflict! I posted my problem to the Eclipse Forums, and was told by a regular with tens of thousands of posts that Neon was so different that I should not even try to upgrade, just create a new installation. When I tried to do that however, I got lots of warnings "That the artifact download is progressing very slowly from ..."
It is not possible to upgrade from Mars (or earlier versions), so a new install is needed.
This can be in parallel with the old install. From the FAQ:
Fresh install
If you prefer not performing an update (for example
because some 3rd-party content isn't ready for the current release of
Eclipse IDE so the update reports conflicts), you can still download a
fresh install of the Eclipse IDE and install it in another location on
your filesystem, and use it together with the previous version.
To do so, download a new build from the Eclipse download Web site
(https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/) and run the
installer or unzip the archive in a new directory. We strongly
recommend against installing/unzipping over your existing version of
Eclipse IDE as it may corrupt your installation.
When you start a new version of Eclipse IDE, you can use the same
existing workspace folder that you were using with older version. The
workspace will be migrated to newer version and Eclipse IDE will to
reuse all configuration. The workspace is forward compatible

Cannot install Mercurial on Eclipse Juno

Attempting to install Mercurial on Eclipse Java EE IDE Juno from
http://cbes.javaforge.com/update in the Install new software...
but,
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) Missing requirement: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.3.0' but it could not be found
I tried on Windows 7_64 and ubuntu 12.04_64. I even installed mylyn using the latest stable releases from http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest
Any Ideas?
Already browsed web and this site.
You could also try the update URL from the Google Code repository instead, which installs only MercurialEclipse.
+1 to installing from Google Code Repository.
Initially Eclipse wouldn't start because of problems with the older version of the plugin so to get past this simply removed the jar com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.9.1.v201111302231.jar from the Eclipse plugins directory then uninstalled the existing plugin and re-installed from the link in smooth reggae's post.
All seems good so far.
The problem is, that the codeBeamer Eclipse Studio requires an older version of Mylyn (3.3.0), which isn't available for Juno.
But AFAIK you don't need the whole CBES, if you only need the Mercurial features. Try to select only MercurialEclipse, it should also be available in that update site.

Eclipse 3.8: where is the download site?

I'm a bit confused about Eclipse release 3.8
It seems a bit like a ghost to me: no codename, no download site?
Where are all the packages, like "Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers"?
Eclipse 3.8 and 4.2 were released concurrently as part of the Juno release, but the compilations for various developer types are only available based on version 4.2.
To use Eclipse 3.8, you will need to download the basic platform and install the plugins you need from Eclipse Marketplace or the Juno repository.
Surf to here and download the one labeled Eclipse SDK:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8.2-201301310800/
Juno repository:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/
Official 'Eclipse Project 3.x' Stream Downloads page
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/eclipse3x.html
This has links to 3.8.1 release, and the 3.8 maintenance build.. If you want to link anywhere to 3.8, this is probably the best place.
Note that 3.8 is not a full 'packaged' release -- it's just the core. Features & plugins can be added from within the IDE, to replicate functionality of the Java EE/ PHP/ C++ etc packaged distributions.
3.8 is of particular interest to those (like myself) who are downgrading from 4.2 Juno due to the serious performance problems in that release. These seem to affect XML editors, PHP, switching, opening & closing editors -- turning the instant performance of previous Eclipse versions into endless 3-5 second waits.
Indigo 3.7 is the last 'packaged' release available. 3.8 may offer advantages in fixing several Indigo bugs & having Java 7 support.
A link to the recently released 3.8.2: http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8.2-201301310800/
None of the links in other answers seem to work anymore, but The Eclipse Project Updates Sites page at eclipse.org says it's http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.8 and that works for me and 3.8 has now been moved to the archives. I don't think updates are available anymore.
To install Java EE into the 3.8.1 download, this worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5028910/503025
Java EE is in the Juno upgrade site.

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency

I am using eclipse helios (IDE for Java EE developers) 64 bit latest version
and when I am trying to update it from help>check for updates
I am getting the error:
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency
Why I am getting this error, and how can I solve it?
You are getting this because there is a conflicting dependency somewhere. For example, if you have plugin A that depends on dependency.X-1.0.0 installed, and try to install plugin B that depends on dependency.X-1.1.0, there is a conflict. When you check for updates, Eclipse will check all plugins and features you have installed in the past. Try to update one thing at a time to identify which update has a conflicting dependency.
Hope this helps!

Starting with ADT bundle 23.0.2, you should be able to update to future versions of ADT.
I couldnt get things working in the 'normal' update screen, but when going to 'About eclipse platform' screen and push the 'installation details' button. I got another screen, where you can select an installed plugin and update it.... in there it worked.
In there I first selected the plugin that seemed to be causing the conflict, and update it. Then the other one conflicting with this one... (the conflict in my case was between the android sdk and my java development tools)
Don't ask me why and what's the difference.... this option might be of help to others...
If running on Windows 7, these errors can often be resolved by running Eclipse as Administrator, then update. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=339659
I Could resolve it by checking already installed plugins at where it was giving me this error. I just uninstalled all the plugins which had conflicting dependency and try to install the updates. It worked well.!
check the marked area in this linked image
Generally, why it should happen is that while updating plugins lately,they have evolved 2-3 updates and during which plugins have introduced some new functions that have to be installed and also are to be updated. This thing creates conflicts of dependency. Eclipse tries to update which is not already existing/installed and it also tells install it first which creates conflicts.
So, when you uninstall the plugins, now it installs the latest plugins rather then updating. it means you updating eclipse plugins manually(by uninstalling older and installing latest). This may happen if you have skipped 2-3 updates and now looking for latest update.
I agree with Michel.iamit. I tried all other options of updating the ADT and it did not work. With Michel's solution, my environment did not work and it complained about the conflict.
So here is what I did and got it to work:
First uninstall all ADP Plugins.
Then check for updates and it will prompt you regarding the missing plugins.
Select all, accept all licences and proceeed.
Hope this helps someone.

After opening eclipse IDE go to Help ->Install New Software->Add
Name = ADT plugin ,
location = link and select all Developer Tools . After installation completed please restart your ide and all the bugs get solved now.
I resolved this issue by running eclipse as root, and then installing the updates from Help>Install New Software and adding the latest update version to the download list (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4). Not sure if this is the best way, but it worked to go from Indigo (3.8) to Luna (4.4). I'm doing this on Ubuntu 14.04 x64

Eclipse Java EE - Galileo - Unable to view plugins

I am new to Eclipse so I am having a hard time troubleshooting this problem. I have a new installation of Eclipse Java EE - Galileo on Windows, and I am unable to see any changes made in the IDE after installing plugins. I have verified that the plugins are installed via installation details, but see no changes made.
For example, after installing the maven integration plugin m2eclipse I go to File->New->Project ... and I have no option for maven. After installing the QuickRex plugin I have no view for it etc.
I have tried re-installing the plugins, re-installing Eclipse, and starting Eclipse with the -clean option, but nothing has resolved the issue.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Ok. This is just a wild guess but could you start over with a fresh install and make sure that you uncheck the option Contact all update sites during install to find required software as shown below:

I faced a similar problem (on another platform than yours), some updates were "disabling" all my plugins. Not checking this option allowed me to work around this issue.
Follow-up: You'll need to install that Zest stuff manually from the GEF update site:
