Can't install SWT plugin in Eclipse 3.7.1 from any of the repositories - windows

I'm using Eclipse 3.7.1 Indigo (Java EE IDE) on Windows 7 (32bit). I wanted to install WindowBuilder for building GUI java apps and so far I tried following repositories to install WindowBuilder or SWT plugin, but none of them completes the plugin installation and it stucks and fails in between.
WindowBuilder Pro by Google
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/3.7
WindowBuilder by Eclipse http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201109201200/3.7/
I also tried by using fresh installation of Eclipse, but that also didn't worked, and plugin installation takes forever and in the end, it shows error "Unable to Resolve". I'm sure that my network connection is free from any firewall restrictions and is fairly fast.
I have used NetBeans so far for my Java needs, but now I need to move on Eclipse, what could be the possible solution to this problem?
Manually installing plugins would be my last option and I'd really prefer to install it using Eclipse's built-in "Install New Software".

Installing via this link just worked fine for me on a fresh install of Indigo.

The fact that you have the same issue from two different sites suggests it's a issue with your network, if you're still have issues try installing a completely different plugin and see if you get the same problem. Are you on a corporate network? Do you have any proxies you need to configure to allow aplications to access the net?

Subclipse JavaHL zip source for manual installation

We are working to install updated versions of Eclipse and Subclipse on a few VMs in a data center. The firewall in place for this dc prevents us from downloading anything from the Eclipse download sites or marketplace. Instead, we download to computers outside of the data center, move the files, and install things manually.
The OS for these VMs is Windows Server, a mix of 2012, 2016, and 2019. The Eclipse IDE for Java 2021-12 can be installed without issue. It appears that we can also install the SVNKit (org.tmatesoft.svn_1.10.3.zip) and Subclipse 4.3.3 (subclipse-4.3.3.zip) successfully, provided that the SVNKit is installed first.
Subclipse does not provide an option to install JavaHL. We are struggling to locate a proper zip file that can be used to manually install the JavaHL part. The files from github return error messages in Eclipse that it cannot find a jar to install. Suggestions and advice on how this could be installed without access to the marketplace or update sites would be greatly appreciated.
Eclipse message for JavaHL zip file
Mark provided us a link within the github space he maintains to exactly what we were looking for. The javahl windows code needed was found here, nicely prepared in zip files by version - https://github.com/subclipse/updates/tree/main/javahl
We used 1.14.0, found here - https://github.com/subclipse/updates/blob/main/javahl/subclipse-javahl-1.14.0.zip
Thank you Mark!

Dev Studio 10.3 - connector discovery completed without finding any connectors jboss developer studio

I get this error when trying to look at available packages in Red Hat JBoss Central. This seems to be because of some missing files on the update site.
How did you install devstudio 10.3?
Into your own Eclipse (from update site, from Marketplace, from zip), via rpm, or via installer jar? If into Eclipse, which package (JavaEE, Java, C/C++, etc.) and which source did you use?
Are you behind a firewall/proxy? What OS are you running? Which version of JDK are you using?
Just tried to install everything from Central from devstudio-10.3.0.GA-v20170218-1636-B94-installer-standalone.jar installation on Fedora 24 and it works for me.

Maven for Eclipse IBM RAD 8.5

I use RAD 8.5 and I am trying to get maven plugin, however, when I go to Help -> Preferences I don't see a maven section. So I tried to go to IBM Installation Manager and it doesn't open. Do I have to install maven from Help -> install new software -> then http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases? Or is that unnecessary?
Starting RAD 8.5.1 there's built-in support for Maven
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27024363#whatsnew_851_maven
Make sure you have this version and if so, use Installation Manager to update your installation with this new feature. If you don't have RAD 8.5.1 you can use steps provided in this thread to install it from Eclipse Marketplace, although I can't really assure you it will work.

Importing Spring tutorial guide results with NoUsableDaemonFoundException on Ubuntu 14.04

I have downloaded SPRING TOOL SUITE (3.6.1.RELEASE for Linux) and I am trying to go through REST tutorial, but I am unable to import it to STS. Since tutorial is using Gradle, I had installed Gradle IDE Extension from STS' Dashboard. I used the Dashboard for importing tutorial project and it resulted with NoUsableDaemonFoundException.
I also tried to import the tutorial to STS as Gradle project, but it resulted with similar problem:
I tried this on freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 as well and got the same problem.
EDIT:
Everything works fine with STS installed on Eclipse Kepler.
Possibly a side-effect of https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3922 that is basically a problem in Eclipse 4.4 update.
Sounds like the issue is Eclipse version specific, so I agree with Radim. You probably have updated to Eclipse 4.4.1. Try getting the latest Gradle Eclipse tooling from this update site: http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/gradle/nightly It may resolve the problem for you.

Windows Azure Toolkit for Java plugin does not work on a Mac

I am trying to create a Windows Azure Cloud Service. Therefore I used Eclipse (Indigo) on my Mac.
First I need to install (Eclipse > Help > Install New Software > http://dl.msopentech.com/eclipse) the Windows Azure Toolkit for Java plugin based on this tutorial, but this is not possible on my Mac. No problems on a Windows machine!
The following error is thrown on installing the plugin:
Cannot complete the install because some dependencies are not satisfiable
com.microsoftopentechnologies.wacommon.feature.feature.group [1.8.0.201211010928] cannot be installed in this environment because its filter is not applicable.
Any ideas?
Just ran into the same issue on Linux and this is due to an OS filter applied to the plugin restricting its use to Windows. See this SO answer for the similar problem with a user running Eclipse on Linux. The Windows Azure Plugin for Eclipse has dependencies on the .NET SDK and can debug a program with an emulator (like Visual Studio), thus it cannot be used in a Linux/Unix environment.
See this full description of the plugin on the official website.
But as stated in the answer you are still able to develop programs on Linux or MacOS using the Windows Azure SDK for Java.
