I have been having trouble installing the Android Development Tools Plugin in eclipse-sdk/eclipse-sdk-3.5.1-r1. After a week of chasing dead ends, I finally decided to try downloading the officially distributed eclipse tarball, extracting it and running it from there. Surprisingly, things just worked with it. There is a list of update sites included with the officially distributed tarball that are not included in the ebuild, which makes it impossible to install the plugin, because it relies upon optional components only available from these sites. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge eclipse-sdk/eclipse-sdk 2. Follow instructions to install Google Android from: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Actual Results: Eclipse complains about missing components: Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Android Development Tools 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220) Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220) requires 'org.eclipse.gef 0.0.0' but it could not be found Expected Results: This should work. The following is a list of the sites that ship with the official tarball by default. It is a copy and paste from eclipse's GUI: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/galileo Enabled Galileo http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo Enabled Mylyn for Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5 http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4/ Enabled The Eclipse Project Updates http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5 Enabled The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) Project update site http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates Enabled http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/2.5 Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/datatools/updates Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/mtj/updates/1.0.1/stable/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/updates/3.0 Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tml/updates/0.3/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/galileo/releases/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmf/updates/releases/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2m/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/updates Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/updates/releases/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/incremental-updates/milestone Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/updates Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.2/runtime-update Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.2/update Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/rt/riena/1.1.0.0/update/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/rt/riena/1.1.0.1/update/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/rt/swordfish/updates Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/stp/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/technology/actf/0.7/update-site/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/technology/emft/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/updates/1.1/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/technology/jwt/update-site Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/technology/mat/0.8/update-site/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/galileo Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/2.0/ Disabled http://download.eclipse.org/tptp/updates/ Disabled http://eclipse.org/tptp/updates/ Disabled http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/?project=search#search Disabled http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/updates/ Disabled While there is an extensive list, only the first 4 of them are enabled by default. I added those 4 sites to eclipse via its GUI and the Google ADT Plugin installed according to Google's instructions without issue.
(In reply to comment #0) I found this bug too with eclipse-sdk-3.5.1-r1. The addition of URLs you proposed solved the problem and I could install the Android Development Tools. Thanks
(In reply to comment #0) The mylyn repo is not there anymore but it's not a problem. I just added the three repos: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/galileo http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5 and installed ADT perfectly. Thanks.
Closing as this version is ancient and the package has been removed from the tree. For what it's worth, I believe this issue was eventually fixed upstream.
