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 com

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 :)

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

there is an easy solution for it just select option all available sites .. in the work with.. space and select the android packages you want to install

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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