Answer 1

Work fine for me when i take Eclipse build with already installed Xtend SDK and installing the ADT Plugin.

Answer 2

to install Xtend but do not contact eclipse update site, you just need to add the EMF update site if not already done. Help -> Install new Software -> Available Software sites -> Add...

http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/updates/releases

After that disable all the Software sites except of EMF and Xtext (unfortunately I can't post images here)

Now, after closing with "Ok", choose work with Xtext update site. Select Xtend from the treeview, enable the "Contact all update sites" (unfortunately I can't post images here) and follow the next wizard steps.

Answer 3

It sounds like you are trying all that on a classic Eclipse installation, without the Android plugins installed. Therefore please re-read the tutorial section "Setting up the IDE", it recommends to download and install th "all-in-one" bundle from the Android website or to manually install the ADT plugin into an existing Eclipse.

You should not uncheck the checkbox during the update. Eclipse will only add necessary updates to the list of plugins to be installed. And you can review that list once again in the installation wizard after Eclipse decided about the plugins.

Answer 4

The Article assumes that you have a running Eclipse with EMF installed. This does not seem to be the case for you. Just leave 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software' and it will properly install EMF.
