android eclipse adt helios

I'm using Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) for mac os X. I downloaded from the Eclipse download page, unzip and put it in Applications folder. Then, i start the Eclipse and choose the workspace (the default, Documents/Workspace). After this, i tried to install new software by going to Help->Install New Software. The problem is that a error occur with the following message: "Cannot complete the request. This installation has not been configured properly for software update. See the error log for details."

And the error log has: "Could not locate the running profile instance. The eclipse.p2.data.area and eclipse.p2.profile properties may not be set correctly in this application's config.ini file."

I'm trying to do this because i wanna install ADT for android developments (and i can't perform the very first step of the "how to").

What i can do to fix this??

Thank you in advance

Most likely, this is caused by a bug in an old version of The Unarchiver that corrupts the default profiles included with eclipse. Upgrade to the newest version of The Unarchiver, extract eclipse again, and everything ought to work.
