I could not install any plugins, I was about to
re-install eclipse when I found this helpful tip.

It fixed my eclipse installation, thanks for sharing.

Your post helped… Had the same issue with Eclipse 3.5.1 (with Myeclipse 8 plug-in)
here's my file

-vm

-startup

I never had that issue. Same with Tim. H., updating the plugin is really simple now.

I had other issues with the "new" plugin installation, namely it took multiple shots/forever to download the actual SDKs. Also, I have had issues in the past with using the SSL link. I noticed in the Settings there is now a 'force download through HTTP on SSL error' checkbox to automatically use the non-SSL url.

The error you described sounds like an local machine/Eclipse issue.

However, it should make you feel better that updating will be quite easy once it's installed

I installed the plugin with no trouble at all. I had a vanilla eclipse set up, nothing modded there. I grabbed just the latest SDK. Might be worth noting I am on a mac…

To be fair, I didn't have either of these issues when installing the same plugin on my laptop and another desktop. The machine in the post was slightly clusterfucked, I suppose.

I had a similar problem installing the Google App Engine SDK and Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.5, in Eclipse Galileo.

Adding these four lines to the config file did the trick.

I'm also wondering how I lost them.

To be honest I have experienced similar troubles while installing the Android plugin for Eclipse. What version (if at all it matters for this purpose) of Eclipse you've used?

Mine is Eclipse Ganymede v. 3.4.0.

P.S. Android looks very raw to be ready for easy public use by developers. I had a chance to play with toy sample Android applications under Eclipse a couple of months ago, and what now? They decline to launch:

An internal error occurred during: "Launching NotepadAndroid".
