An error occurred whil         


        

Answer 1

None of the above worked for me.

Instead, I tried installing the plugins I needed via the Eclipse Market Place, and that worked without issue.

1. Click "Help" Menu.
2. Click "Eclipse Marketplace..." menu item.
3. Enter the name of the plugin you want.
4. Click "Install" when the plugin appears in the Marketplace List.
5. Restart Eclipse.

Answer 2

I got this error on my ubuntu box until I ran eclipse as root and installed from there:

$ gksudo eclipse

Eclipse was trying to download the packages to /usr/lib/* where I don't have write permissions

Answer 3

In my case I entered:

Error Log - found "An error occurred while collecting items to be installed" - right click and select "Open Log". From there I know what goues wrong(in my case PMD). I solve the problem in one project and all works ok.

Answer 4

if you do not wish to change the eclipse directory, then start eclipse as administrator (right click run as administrator) and install the feature again. it worked for me.

Answer 5

If you have problems using the location: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/, try editing the location by replacing "http" with "https" or the other way round.

Answer 6

I just solved this problem by unchecking Read only checkbox of the Program Files/eclipse folder on win7.

Apply to all files and folders.
