I am unable to install new plugins to eclipse (tried subclipse and subversive). Installing fails around 47/48 %. This happens with both Helios and Indigo. I tried installing via Help>Install New Software and Help>Eclipse Marketplace.

Errors in both versions are about the same:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee,       
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

I don't think it's my internet connection as I'm having no issues browsing the web and multiple tracert tests work fine. I have tried removing the sites from available software sites and tried setting Active Provider in network connects to both direct and native.

Please help. Thanks

I also faced the same issues and resolved with following steps:

  1. Check all .jar files that are causing errors "Unable to read repository at..."and "Read timed out"
  2. Manually download those .jar files
  3. Manually put .jar to eclipse's "\plugins" folder
  4. Again start installation
  5. Won’t get error
  6. You done.
