I am really stressed with Installing any new software/plugin into my eclipse. The Install new software just does not work for me ! It goes upto a certain point and just stops there.. I am not able to install new plugin through eclipse, I have to get the zip file and put the plugins and features into respective folders and restart eclipse.

I have no idea why is this the case ? No issue with firewall and internet I guess. There are some plugins like GWT designer which needs to be installed using Eclipse only and does not get properly installed via zip file extraction.

Anyone had similar issues??

Answer 1

The cause of problem was AVG Antivirus which was blocking the installation. So in the future take care that you don't have an antivirus program running on your computer that will block installing software in Eclipse.
