Cannot "Install New Software" in Eclipse 3.5
- by David E
I have just installed Eclipse 3.5 for Java EE developers ("Galileo").
I need to add an extra plugin, but when I select the "Install New Software ..." menu item, nothing happens. Literally nothing - no dialog opens, no error message is displayed. If I have the Debug window open, no message are displayed.
If I go to Preferences - Install/Update - Available Software Sites, that dialog opens OK, I can manage the list of update sites, and test the connections, and they all appear OK. But I cannot get to use them to actually install anything.
Is it just broken, or could there be something more subtle wrong?
Thanks.
