Cannot com         


        

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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)

Answer 5

I had the same problem, run eclipse as administrator and try to instal ADT plugin again, it works.

Answer 6

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.
