无法安装Windows Azure Eclipse插件

Question

When I try to instal "Windows Azure Plugin for Eclipse with Java" by going to Help choose install new software, it generates following error. I have asked google but couldn't find any useful post. I have Installed Windows Azure Sdk for .NET which adds the emulator.

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

We have just released an update fixing this bug (ie broken support for Helios), and a few others. Invoke Eclipse's plugin update feature, or just tell Eclipse to install the plugin from http://dl.msopentech.com/eclipse .

Yesterday there were announcements about several new features in the Windows Azure Spring Release. One of those announcements mentioned an updated Eclipse plugin, as well as sdk refreshes. Based on the error message, you may have installed updated bits for Eclipse that could be out of sync with something else that hasn't been updated yet.

During the Meet Windows Azure event today, everything is being formally announced via webcast.

I believe those are random errors which just happen if there some network error. You may find similar problems and while installing the plugin however trying again mostly resolve such problem.

I just gave a quick try as setting the New Install point as " http://dl.msopentech.com/eclipse " in Eclipse as below:

And then downloaded the selected components:

The download and install went fine without any hitch so please try again and you should not have any problem as you just experiences a random trouble.

Actually, it is a bug in the plugin's June 2012 release that it doesn't install on Helios. An update with a fix for this issue is coming up later in July.
