Remove the plugin, then restart as follows:

eclipse -clean

Now try reinstalling the ADT from the online installation

OR

Head over to Help -> Install New Software. Click on Available software sites. Delete the Android repo. Uncheck Indigo & Eclipse updates & recheck them. Now head back to Help -> Check for updates. Once done, add the Android repo again. Accept the license & you should be good to go.

Happy Coding..
